Hey Ross, nobody’s going to GUARANTEE you 8-9% returns annually. But based on the historical data, it seems to be a pretty good bet. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide.

Of course, depending on your age and life circumstances, it’d be wise to keep a separate bucket for fixed-income securities like bonds and money market funds that are low-risk investments (lower returns too!).

But again, at the end of the day, it comes down to how much faith you want to put in the world’s #1 financial system.

Just make sure you DECIDE today.

My brother keeps telling me i should be investing in index finds, but i really wasn’t confident about my knowledge in the market to pull the trigger on anything. I didn’t realize the returns were about 9% yearly. Thats pretty good. It’s much better than the returns on my money market account.
