Investing $1,500 annually in the S&P 500, assuming a 10% average annual return, could grow to over $1 million in 45 years.
"If instead you took this $1,500 a year and you invested into something like the SNP 500 which has averaged a 10% return a year for about the last century and you did that for say 45 years because you did this from the the day you turned 21 until you retired well now this $1,500 a year you were spending on coffee would have grown to over $1 million in your investment account"
