In the game you start with 38,000 dollars. For reference at a rate of return of 5.575% [0], this would yield on average 8.6 million after 100 years. I only mention this to give some idea of what the returns on investment are in the long term.
[0] The average return of S&P500 from 1915 to 2015 according to http://dqydj.net/sp-500-return-calculator/ http://dqydj.net/sp-500-return-calculator/
EDIT: these figures are wrong because they don't include dividends. See thread below.
- blazespin 11y agoAccording to this we will see 21x inflation between 1999 and 2100. Just using cpi http://www.halfhill.com/inflation_js.html http://www.halfhill.com/inflation_js.html
- lambdapie 11y agoJust checked: the figure I gave was not inflation adjusted. In terms of real dollars, after 100 years your investment would be worth a measly $365,000.
- reddytowns 11y agoWhy didn't you include dividends? In that case, the parameters you entered would give a RoR of 9.9970%?
- lambdapie 11y agoOops, you're right, I overlooked that. So it would be 520 million after 100 years (22 million after accounting for inflation).
