What Happens When You Invest Just $100 a Month in the S&P 500 for 20 Years?
Yahoo Finance ·
A lot of people think it takes a lot of money to make money investing in the stock market . In reality, any investment can do the job. Even small monthly investments made consistently over the course of decades. For many people, a simple $100 monthly investment in the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC -0.25% ) is achievable. It may not sound like much, but how large can your investment grow if you keep investing for 20 years? Historically, the S&P 500 has generated an average annual return of around 10% over the past century. While returns can fluctuate significantly in the short term, a 10% annual rate of return assumption gives us a good benchmark to work with.
