There was a guy interviewed on CNBC this morning ,I didn't catch his name but he's a billionaire. He said the government should give every person when they're born $2000 and it's put into an index fund and can't be touched until 65 and then the government could do away with Social security.
So I put that into a calculator at 10% and you would have 1,294,931 at age 65. Or $5395/month for 20 years if you don't count continued interest after 65.
At 12% it gives you $4,695,713. Which is $19,565/month
Just think how much that would save the government. One time payment of 2K versus 20 years of 2K a month.
