Yeah, if that happens then great, but I'm not banking my retirement on that. If that happened i could stop right now and retire at 48

Trowe price gives actual rate of return, though I think they just started doing that within the last year or so.

The majority of my assets have and are in 401k plan so a 15 year time horizon isn't available. My old company merged with another and I don't have access to the old 401k data. Outside of that my investment timeframe is just now barely 15 years

That is why I am bringing up that point. those were amazing years. the problem was the years leading up sucked and the high inflation and poor markets made it difficult to get any decent amount of money saved to take advantage of the time frame.

I lucked out as I sold my co-op apartment and had money to invest.
