Example: $100,000 invested today would compound to $783 thousand in 30 years after inflation.

If you never made another contribution to your retirement plan, you would need:

$127,737 today to have a million dollars in 30 years,

$253,636 today to have a million dollars in 20 years,

$503,623 today to have a million dollars in 10 years.

Shortcut: the stock market historically has roughly doubled your money every decade after inflation.
