boglehead philosophy is phenomenal if you want consistent 6-10% annual returns.


The S&P 500, the most common index used for these purposes, hasnt had a return between 6-10% since 1992.

No, it's not like buying CDs or treasuries. You diversify across a large number of equities and accept their return. It's a hands off way to diversify the risk of purchasing single securities, which most individual investors are not capable of doing properly.

When did I say it was like CD's or Treasuries? I'm just saying that with such low returns, the bulk of your assets will come via new deposits bc the dividends aren't really that big and there will be many years where the market is down and with dividends so low you won't really pick up a bigger chunk via dividends so new cash will be a big thing in the long run.
