@@steven9169Hi Steven, do you have a preferred investment that you yourself have actually tried and tested? I think you and not just you but in fact most people across social media have fallen victim to the delusion that the average person that works is somehow going to become a part time investment banker or asset manager in their spare time. It’s just not possible. This advice is pretty much spot on for anyone except those that deal with the stock market as a profession or corrupt politicians. Now that’s not to say you can’t find other more risky stocks in your own time and buy them, but you will find yourself checking this all the time during your working day and trust me that has an impact on your performance at work.

[@Culperrr]

$200 a month at 10% average interest rate, over 40 years, will earn you just under $1.1 million. I think that’s doable. However, it’s worth noting that $1 million today will not be worth $1 million 40 years from now.

[@DroppedGoat69]

whos paying you that 10%?

[@BaileyMxX]

People say this all the time but never take into account that $200 also won't be the same in the coming decades so in the same light the likelihood is that you'll be inputting way more than $200 each month further down the line

[@Culperrr]

​@@BaileyMxX Right and that was my point, which perhaps I wasn't clear enough about. I should have said that is doable "for most". At least they will have something. I make a little over $50k/year and put $700 into various investing pathways per month. S&P 500 has an average return of 10.4% over 30 years, but adjusted for inflation is 7.7%. So for convenience's sake, let's just say 7% interest on $700/month over 40 years equals $1.67 million. That's assuming my income doesn't increase at all and I am single for the next 40 years, where there isn't a second stream of cash coming into the household. Even if the cost of living increases by double, that still allows me 20 years of retirement money (assuming that the $1.67 million isn't still gaining interest over 20 years).

[@Culperrr]

@@DroppedGoat69 Various investment pathways, but let's just take the S&P 500 as an example. The average ROI is 10.4% per year. However, taking inflation into account puts it at about 7.7%, so that takes it to just under $600k. $200 is the bare minimum and my calculations don't assume that the income will increase.

[@mynameisdrpat]

It will at least be worth more than if you did nothing with that money

[@YT_Watchers]

I wish I could post pictures to show how accurate this statement is. I would go a step further as to say buy dividend paying ETFs that follow the S&P… reason being is that you will receive payments during times of uncertainty so you don’t have to sell your stock. Also, you may not need to pay any taxes (0% bracket) for qualified dividends (42k filing single and 84k filing jointly)… hope this reaches someone that knows what to do with this info
