I.e. let's take out the $60k of additional money you pushed into the mutual fund over 5 yrs (not accounting for the compounding return on it) and your mutual fund at year 5 is at about $150k vs RE at $283 (when you add in your initial equity that is not currently represented in your numbers).  

You want to learn how to use strategies that give you a compounded/exponential return.
