Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to become a millionaire?
The timeline varies based on savings rate, investment returns, and starting point. With consistent investing and compound growth, many reach this goal in 20-30 years.
What investment return is realistic?
Historical stock market returns average around 7-10% annually before inflation. Conservative planning might use 6-8% for long-term projections.
How does inflation affect the goal?
Inflation reduces purchasing power over time. $1 million in 30 years will buy less than $1 million today, so consider inflation in your planning.
