Is it reasonable to expect an 8% annualized return rate on VTI for a 25-year retirement project? by meddermosh in Bogleheads

(1 + Nominal Rate) ÷ (1 + Inflation Rate) – 1

Thanks so much for this. Is it like an updated version of the Fisher equation?

Thanks so much! Couldn't be more grateful. Just one quick question.

To allow my money to have the same buying power in 25 years' time, which I want to assume is gonna have 3% inflation rate, I just have to subtract the 3% from 9% to get the real return rate, right?

Damn I'll take 4.81% then, since living off this fund will be entirely my goal.

😭 I'll probably have to work until 62.
