FAQ
Why adjust for inflation?
Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. A dollar today buys more than a dollar in 20 years. Inflation-adjusted (real) returns show what your future money will actually be worth in today's terms.
What is a realistic annual return?
The S&P 500 has historically returned about 10% per year (7% after inflation). Conservative portfolios may return 5-7%, while aggressive ones might target 10-12%.
