Account Closed I'm maxing out on the pre-tax contribution amount every year, my employer matches 5% of my pay contribution, the markets would have to have an average loss of -15% every year for the next 25 years for me to end up with a balance that consist of just my payroll contributions.I think those numbers on the charts you're listing are for people working low wage jobs and probably contributing a few hundred dollars a month to their 401K plans, in that scenario putting 200-300 dollars a month away is something that will help but probably not going to be enough to live on in retirement.Like many have mentioned on here you have to be diversified with Real Estate and various aspects of the financial markets, If you're heavily positioned in one market or the other with no diversification you'll end up in the average pool of investors.
