I agree that recent history further underlines the importance of broad diversification in low cost index funds! If LONG TERM history is any guide, a diversified portfolio will provide a decent overall return.

I wish I had gotten started 10 years earlier... well, I am still aiming for a semi-retirement by 40 or before, or perhaps a lot of mini-retirements while continuing to work in the interim!

The stock market is certainly a great long-term investment, and your tables illustrate once again that a picture/table is worth a thousand words. I am very concerned about investing in the stock market without appropriate diversification, given so many examples of crappy accounting, corrupt leadership, or huge blunders that cause the golden company to worthless. That's why I love your comment about mutual funds or ETFs as a preferred method of investing in the businesses. Great advice Barb.

One of the reasons I started my blog is because I kept trying to explain to people I work with the power/magic/savings potential of compounding interest and what it can do to your savings if you are smart about it. I think an important part is to make sure your contributions are REGULAR, as you stated. This is difficult for many people! Excellent post! I love this post.

Vanguard has wonderful, diversified, and low fee index funds. @DIY-Thanks for the historical perspective. I concur that it's tough to take a long term view. Some individuals believe the present environment will last forever. Let's just hope that future businesses continuing growing and creating wealth for their shareholders.
