Om en familjemedlem hade investerat 2 000 USD när du föddes, hur mycket tror du att du skulle ha idag?
Med hjälp av Tenpao Lee, professor i ekonomi vid Niagara University, har MoneyWise beräknat det nuvarande värdet av hypotetiska $2 000 investeringar i aktier, guld, obligationer och besparingar som gjorts under vart och ett av de senaste 50 åren.
Våra resultat för aktier är baserade på avkastningen för S&P 500; det skulle likna att investera i en av de populära S&P 500-indexfonderna som rekommenderas av dagens automatiserade investeringstjänster, som Betterment.
Få dina pengar att fungera för dig
Bättring kan hjälpa dig att tjäna 38 % mer pengar än en genomsnittlig investerare.
Börja nuGuldresultaten är baserade på IBA års slutpriser; för obligationer använde vi genomsnittlig årlig avkastning för 10-åriga statsobligationer. Sparresultaten är baserade på genomsnittlig avkastning för 6-månaders CD-skivor, eftersom historiska data om sparkontopriser inte var tillgängliga. Vi har inte justerat för inflation eller tagit hänsyn till investeringsavgifter.
Se hur en relativt blygsam investering gjord under det år du föddes skulle ha växt och se vilken typ av investering som skulle ha gett bäst avkastning.
