A way to gauge how the stock market does overall is to look at the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) index, which gives a solid indication of 500 stocks. Using an online calculator to check past performance, such as the one provided by Don’t Quit Your Day Job (DQYDJ) found at dqydj.com/sp-500-return-calculator/, will reveal some impressive gains over time. Looking at the past 40 years since some Millennials can relate to the recent 40th anniversary of a popular Sci-Fi film that came out in theaters in May 1977, a long time ago before they were born could give them reference to a time frame. From May 1977 to May 2017, the S&P 500 price return has been 498.548% (DQYDJ, 2017), which is six times the original investment. Therefore, ten dollars’ worth of movie tickets would be worth $49.86. If someone puts in $10,000, they would have $49,855 during those 40 years.

💰 Dividend Reinvestment
💰 Dividend Reinvestment
However, if that money gain was reinvested back into the market from the past 40 years with dividend reinvestment setup, the return for those past 40 years is 1731.868%, converting the ten dollars invested in the S&P into gains of $173.19. Compare to the near $50, over three times more with reinvestments. Again, $10,000 becomes $173,186.80. This number could grow much larger if each month people paid themselves by adding to the investment and use dividend reinvestment. The combination of investing in dividend paying investments and stashing away acorns into a diversified portfolio basket on a regular basis can lead to a staying ahead of rising costs and keeping up with the extended life expenses.
