I agree that 10-15% is a little optimistic, but even with a more realistic 4-7% you'd still have $300,000-500,000 at the end of 30 years, which is nothing to sneeze at.

I just get annoyed when people throw around unrealistic numbers recklessly. Between 4-7 and 10-15 percent there is a huge difference.

There is already enough bullshit and delusion going around in investing advice so let’s not add to it.
