Status
Investing $100 per month with an average annual return of 8-10% (based on S&P 500 historical data) could result in over $140,000 after 30 years, with only $36,000 being the investor's contribution.
"If you invest just 100 a month and earn an average annual rate of return of 8 to 10% a year, I say average because that is what the historical rate of return has been looking at the S&P 500 for a 10 to 20 year timeline. You will have more than 140,000 after 30 years and you will have only contributed 36,000 yourself. The rest of the money will be basically profit."
