Episode 3077:

Investing for an 8% return is a long-term game, not a short-term guarantee. ESI of ESIMoney.com explains why this rate is a reasonable expectation for stock index fund investors over a decade or more, despite market fluctuations. He also shares his personal experience earning 10% or more through real estate and how staying consistent with low-cost index funds gives the best chance at solid returns.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://esimoney.com/can-get-8-investment-return/

Quotes to ponder:

"There’s a big difference between making 8% on your money ‘at a time like this’ and making 8% on your money over a 10-15 year period."

"You can give yourself the best opportunity to maximize investment returns by putting your money in low-cost index funds."

"No one knows! Investing is inherently risky, so you do it hoping for a good return but knowing you might lose everything."
