Scenarios
Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $58,483 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +1067.2%.
Lump sum instead — $37,700 all at once in Apr 1995: $4,282,652 (+11259.8%) — lump sum came out ahead.
Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Feb 2026): $715 on $700 invested (+2.1%).
⚠ Price returns only — dividends are not included. This understates the true return of dividend-paying shares, and any comparison against crypto (which pays no dividends) is biased against equities by roughly the dividend yield, compounded.
