Index Fund Growth
Project growth of a total market or S&P 500 index fund investment.
The S&P 500 has returned an average of about 10% annually over the long term. $5,000 initial investment with $500/month at 10% grows to $689,000 in 25 years. Of that, only $155,000 is your contributions. The remaining $534,000 is compound growth. Low-cost index funds (0.03-0.10% expense ratio) are the gold standard for long-term wealth building.
