You’ve been lied to your entire life.

It doesn’t matter when you started investing in the S&P500 or whether you did it for 10 or 20 yrs

Green line. Your excess return over true inflation (Money Supply)

Yeah, you “made” money over any 10 or 20 year period dating back to 1959, but it’s hit or miss whether you actually made money in real returns

The golden era was if you were invested from mid-80s to ~2005. That was the golden window; in other words, Boomers.

The Boomers were able to compound against real inflation in a real way for a 15-20 year window. Outside that window you were either negative or barely beating inflation. Sometimes generational timing is everything.

The S&P 500 is your true inflation hedge with perhaps some slight upside. But not by much. Luckily we have #bitcoin now. But this is a serious misunderstanding in the world.

Retiring early due to your investments in the TradFi world is nearly impossible.
