[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also realize a lot of those calculators use 6-7% annual rate of return to be overly cautious. The average annualized total return for the S&P 500 index over the past 90 years is 9.8 percent. Yes there are some poor performing years, but if you are investing over the long term (10-15 years) you can expect at least 8% return average and maybe even 9%. [/quote] Yeah but you have to mentally factor in the big correction that is coming. That'll pull your 9.8% return right on down.[/quote] a big correction that is worse than anything that 90 YEAR average already reflects? nope. but yes, if you kids going to college in the next ~5 years then there is more risk than for those of us with kids going to college in 15 years[/quote]
