Obviously he means VOO or another fund/ETF. It's very accurate OP, compounding interest is no joke.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

I didn’t check the math, but it sounds accurate.

But obviously if you’re 0 now you start investing, by the time you’re retirement age you’re gonna need more than $2 million also

Didn’t watch the video but finance brus are ignorant cucks.

The system is literally designed to not benefit you.

When you are investing you are giving your money to someone else and they are making more off it than you are.

The stock market is a scam, and based completely on corporate greed and lies.

The economy’s literally imaginary, and the rules do not benefit the population at all.

Your best option is to not participate. Stop wanting things. Stop worshipping the illusion of money and what you think it can do for you. Stop giving it your divine and sacred attention.

It’s accurate assuming a 7% return that is not guaranteed

Also he mentions $2 mil is a comfortable amount to retire on which is also not guaranteed

S&P 500 average since it's beginning is like 11%
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Based.

All of these companies are trying to invest in AI to replace workers (that's if they aren't already outsourcing to Rajesh), you've got companies like NVDA fueling all these data centers and preserving the environment has become a non-factor for most companies which sucks. Not to mention companies like PLTR, Raytheon, or Lockheed who are undoubtedly cooking up nefarious surveillance tech.

Literally investing in our own demise while the elites are laughing to the bank. I like nice things too but you can't help but wonder about who's really winning...

Not sure why he used 7% when it has averaged 10-11% since its inception.

This has been true because domestic population growth and emergent foreign consumer markets have been a constant the last hundred years. Or really since the start of the industrial revolution.

Those are not conditions that will remain in perpetuity. In fact we happen to be nearing the end of that circumstance, which is the only one society has ever really known. And it is going to throw a wrench into the system in ways a lot of people do not see coming.

Youve got to really think ahead to keep pace with the future. If youre just stuck on status quo, business as usual... youre in for a rude awakening.
