Jack Bogle's Advice: $200 Monthly Could Yield $668,000 by 65
Original: Jack Bogle Said 'Just Buy the Haystack.' $200 a Month Starting at 30 Could Mean $668,000 by 65
Vanguard founder Jack Bogle's famous advice to 'just buy the haystack' — investing in broad index funds rather than picking stocks — is being revisited with a simple illustration: putting $200 a month into the market starting at age 30 could grow to roughly $668,000 by age 65, assuming typical long-term market returns. The calculation highlights the power of compounding and low-cost, consistent investing for ordinary savers.
Why now: Personal finance commentary is again promoting Bogle's index fund philosophy with fresh compounding projections for young savers.
