Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $50,463 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is +120.5%.

Lump sum instead — $33,900 all at once in Jun 1998: $209,452 (+517.9%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Mar 2026): $564.85 on $600 invested (-5.9%).

⚠ 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.
