Assuming a consistent $40,000 annual income and investing $769 per month ($9,228 per year) at an 8% average return: the investment balance could reach $456,000 after 20 years, $728,000 after 25 years, and exceed $1.1 million after 30 years.
"if we assume that we're just staying at this $40,000 income level after 20 years of investing like this you could see a future balance of $456,000 after 25 years that balance will get up to $728,000 and then in 30 years you could be over $1.1 million easily"
