No, you have 35 years to earn interest, because the first 35 years was spent saving the principal, remember? And remember how I said with interest alone? So no more $500/month contributions either.
So with that calculator, $210k at 4% interest for 35 years puts you at $849,611.66 with monthly compounding.
If you spend 35 years to accumulate money and never earn interest on it, yeah, if somebody is that stupid, your comment is correct. That’s nothing I ever claimed though, I assume people who save aren’t total dunces.
I’ve got 70 years? At 500 per month and 4% interest that’s 2.3 million, with a contribution of 0.42 million. https://www.investor.gov/financial-tools-calculators/calculators/compound-interest-calculator If you start with 210k and never input anything else you’ll even end up with more.
I know it sounds like magic, but it’s just simple math.
