8% return, good one.
- overcast 7y agoAverage return over the last 30 years for S&P500 is nearly 7%, now add in all of those reinvested dividends.

- overcast 7y agoReally depends on the investment vehicle. My HRA(pre/post), and Roth(post) are cranking tax free.
- BeetleB 7y ago7% includes dividends and inflation adjustment.

- overcast 7y agoYep! That's my 401k, costs basically nothing to be in it.
- CydeWeys 7y agoAnyone who's been investing primarily since the 2008 economic downturn (which describes most of us in tech) has likely done better than even that.
