So why don't you faggots just park your money in an S&P 500 fund? There's little risk and the returns are decent.

mostt people on this board weren't even born in 1986 dude.
>>997297
You're missing the point nigga, the S&P500 has consistently shown growth. It's fail safe as long as you have patience.
But I already have.
The cashflow is really poor and this poor ol' retiree has bills.

Slow and steady, that's the way to win the money race.

>little risk
What do you mean by "risk" in this context? Even though you do diversify across companies, volatility of S&P500 will always be very high. If you want "little risk and decent returns" consider investing a good chunk of your savings in some total bond etf
>>997312
Do you mean dividends? Because dividends are an outdated, tax inefficient way of obtaining "cash flow". You are better off selling off a chunk of your ETFs as needed
That shit is for people who are already rich, and want to not lose thier money due to inflation.
For normal people it's useless because they don't have 30k to basically drop in a hole and fish up in 50 years if they happen to be alive.

It's not the matter of being impatient, it's the fact that you never know when the markets gonna shit itself and you're gonna be down 50% from your initial investment until you get back to even. Look at how long it took for the 2000 crash to recuperate and the 2008 as well.
