Scenarios

Inflation — the same contributions merely keeping pace with CPI would be $3,641 today, so the real (inflation-adjusted) return is -2.1%.

Lump sum instead — $3,500 all at once in Oct 2023: $4,904 (+40.1%) — lump sum came out ahead.

Worst timing — same monthly amount started at the all-time high (Aug 2024): $2,442 on $2,500 invested (-2.3%).

⚠ 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.
