But thats not really the point of the question, is it? When he mentioned compound interest, you thought he was talking about CDs? C'mon man. The DJIA has nearly doubled in the last five years. A standard index fund isn't considered that risky, especially for a younger investor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said... I explained it. Obviously we could use the SOP of 6%, a blended portfolio, historical inflation, or any number of other interest rates. I chose the most conservative simply because it is considered the RFR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again: When he wrote "compound interest," did you think he meant CDs? Obviously he didn't mean that, but you decided to cite those rates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
