      You can only get 1m or more under SPECIFIC situations, one of them being: IF interest rates keep a mean of 7.5% per year for the whole 35 years AND the compound happens quarterly.

      Using the current USA fed rates as an example, of ~5.33%, you can “get” a million IF: the compound is calculated daily AND there’s a 2.3 variance upwards in interest rates, making it go as high as ~7.4%. Obviously, that happening later on is much more profitable than early on, when you have much less money to get the compounds on. If, however, something like the early 2010s happens again, where interest rates were below 1% for roughly 6 years straight, you won’t get to the million mark.

      The fact that you never, at any point, did your part to actually try and show how, why and where my math “was wrong” shows that you’re acting on bad faith. You just say “you’re wrong” without giving counterproof. You fail to point how I’m “wrong”, you just point to a site and say it. Under specific conditions, yes, I am “wrong”, but under more likely conditions, you’re wrong. Unlike you, I’m also pointing out the where and how: most situations where interest, especially later on, is below 7%.

          Ironic that I put more effort than you did in any of your replies

              And you never showed why-how-where I was wrong, you just said it and called it a day. The situation where you are right is so unlikely that assuming you’re wrong makes more sense than assuming I was wrong
