The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Excerpt:
“The average since 1793 is 6.1%.

If you expect to work for 30 years and be retired for 30 years, says Bernstein, “you’d better save a truckload of money—and you’d better be lucky.”

Over the three decades ended in December 2023, U.S. stocks returned an annualized 6.9% after inflation. Over the 360 months ended in July 1982, however, they earned only 4.7%. And in the 30 years ended May 1932, stocks gained only 0.9% annually after inflation.”
