[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The stock market returns 10% on average," LOLOLOL, it doesn't work that way. Not at all. But yes, at some point your returns will dwarf any contributions you can make.[/quote] It does though? OP didn’t say it always returns 10%, he said on average, which is correct over the long term (past century or so). Average does not mean this is guaranteed, or that you should count on it. But it’s not unlikely either. There’s a good chance it will continue returning this amount, but it’s wise to not plan your entire financial future around the 10% figure. And obviously it doesn’t account for inflation but for the purpose of the exercise in the OP it makes more sense to pay attention to nominal figures vs the 6-7% inflation adjusted return. [/quote]
