Leaving the simple math, Paul uses historical returns to compare hypothetical returns and the choices investors must make. Everyone of these choices is likely a million dollar decision:
- Save vs. spend
- Start saving early vs. waiting
- Selecting stocks vs. bonds
- Select a few vs. many companies
- Choose the S&P vs. other equity asset classes
- Choose the S&P vs. combinations of equity asset classes
- Add 10% more equity
- Taxable vs. tax-deferred
- Tax-deferred vs. tax free
- Load vs. no-load
- Index funds vs. actively managed funds
- Buy and hold vs. market timing
- Target date funds vs. do it yourself
- Target date funds plus small cap value
- Gifting one million dollars with $365 vs. major gift at death
- The make or break decision of distributions
