Mine was a paltry 1.8%

I didn't use 1.8% in any of my retirement calculators

Too scared to look...

It would be more instructive to provide a few references.
- S&P 500 Index +2.75% (not including divs)
- Barclay's US Aggregate Bond Index +0.97%
- Barclay's US 3-Month Treasury Bellwether Index +0.04%

The above are from my Fidelity account (one-year returns).

Me: minus 1.0% (went heavy into energy-related mutual funds and stocks a bit too early..... )

1.9%

I thought I was really terrible at picking mutual funds until I noticed y'all's returns. I'm at least content now

You must have included dividends in that. S&P was -0.7% for 2015.

Not sure what it was exactly but it was ~-2% to -3% around the 30th. Glad to see it wasn't just me at least
