  The 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%.

    That’s true. unfortunately you can’t cherry pick with foresight what decades you want to skip when investing.
