Agreed. Because the stock market rose 50% in a year and their money is just most likely in index funds?

  Hang on, am I missing something? We have rampant inflation - why would you not expect the NUMBER attached to the stock market to go up?

    We didn't experience 50% inflation; investing in those parts of the stock market meant that the investment went up by more than inflation.

    > We have rampant inflation Do we? I could have sold wheat for $15 per bushel two years ago. Now I'm lucky if I can get $7. It looks more and more like a disinflationary/deflationary environment to me. CPI continues to show inflation, but the CPI basket measures that which at the end of the supply chain (it is a consumer index, after all), which means that it always lags significantly behind what's going on in the rest of the world.

    Which country are you living in? The US does not have rampant inflation.
