I saw an interesting thread on twitter the other day that was something I knew already but helped to bring things back into perspective for me with reference to this year.

If you start with $100,000 and make a net return of 15% p.a and add $1,000 a month to your investment then after 30 years you will end up with $13m or about $6.5m in PV after accounting for inflation.

Everyone has their own circumstances and their own game to play but that struck home for me. Doesn't matter what investment style you use, whether you do it via stocks, property, business etc etc.

But it comes back to a simple equation. I guarantee most posters on here set themselves higher goals than the above but it shows with patience and more realistic goals that some pretty incredible results can be achieved.
