For most of us here the market is a long term investment to get you though your retirement.
Im a contractor so I dont have a 401k or pension. Ive put some of each check into stocks and physical metals (and for the last couple years now a little into BTC) since I was about 22 years old. I went to college but lucky for me my skills in the trades kept me out of debt. That has helped me save in a way I probably never could have otherwise.
Now at 55 I have enough to retire on if I wanted. Slow and steady worked for me.
