To follow this up...

Everyone in the US that is 22+ and works NEEDS TO AT LEAST SAVE 10%. Most of your problems would go away and you'd become financially independent later in life. Saving 10% of your earnings is a beautiful thing, even with, as you say, an underperforming index fund.

How many here people would like to have $800k in their index fund account at 40? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
