Theoretical Roth Growth Opportunity
Assume flat $7000 per year Roth after tax contribution INVESTED EVERY YEAR for 35 years
Roth Account Growth Example 1 - Assume 9% growth annually in portfolio value for 35 years
- Assume a 9% dividend per year payout average ( eg ET )
- Assume a SMALL dividend growth rate ( eg ET ) of 2% per year
- Assume inflation rate goes back to average of 3% per year ( VOTE SMARTER !! )
( The average yearly return of the S&P 500 is 11.13% over the last 50 years, as of the end of December 2023. This assumes dividends are reinvested. Adjusted for inflation, the 50-year average stock market return (including dividends) is 6.99%. )
The Growth in Roth account is tax free

At 9% the end balance generates an ANNUAL TAX FREE INCOME STREAM of $117,000 in today's dollars
What is the actual inflation rate discount for 35 years ? maybe 3% per year IF you vote for a GOOD President — what you have for the last 20 years is bad
