- petilon 7y agoThen invest in the stock market. Even accounting for the dotcom crash and the 2008 crash the stock market has gone up around 10% every year when you average it out.
- AznHisoka 7y agoIt has averaged close to 5% from January 2000 to now...
- icedchai 7y agoThe 2000's were a bad decade for investing. You had the dot com crash, followed by 9/11, and then the financial crisis. I "saved" a ton during that time, but the returns were mediocre. The 80's, 90's and most of the 2010's were much, much better for market performance, closer to the average of 10%.

- AznHisoka 7y agoThat’s true. unfortunately you can’t cherry pick with foresight what decades you want to skip when investing.
- DennisP 7y agoThey'd be fantastic if you could get them every single year. Given the wide variance in annual returns, they're nothing special. https://www.macrotrends.net/2526/sp-500-historical-annual-returns https://www.macrotrends.net/2526/sp-500-historical-annual-re...
