Does $600 a month invested really work out to $500k in 20 years or $1.5M in 30 years? Anyone else check that math?

You would need to average 10% return over that entire time period.

Looking at the S&P 500 for the years 1992 to 2021, the average stock market return for the last 30 years is 9.89% (7.31% when adjusted for inflation).

$600 x 12 months = $7,200/year
$7,200 x 30 years = $216,000

The stock market only goes down


You’d be better off buying 600 bucks worth of bullets every month for when society collapses in the next few years
