For me it's the opposite. I am a bit surprised that inflation halved buying power since 2000.
In my mind those level of interest usually come from the stock market or house appreciation, but I guess those are much faster (I seem to recall doubling every 8 years in the stock market and housing being a bit slower).

- irishcoffee 6mo agoI think the more interesting thing to chew on is how this will look over the next 25 years. The numbers will be... huge. 75k salary in 2000 is similar to 150k salary in 2026, project that out to 2050... Something feels like it'll give out, but I've felt that way for 8 years at this point and I haven't been correct. DCA and pray I suppose. edit: a word

- Dylan16807 6mo ago> I am a bit surprised that inflation halved buying power since 2000. It's a bit more than I expected but a 2% drop 26 times gets pretty close to halving. The number on the page suggests 2.5% average inflation.
