Yes, it's crazy how much money you make in the long term.
People are always trying to sell these bullshit ideas on the internet, but investing in a mutual fund or an ETF can turn anyone into a multi-millionaire in a couple of decades.
I live in a small town, and most people work at a steel mill because it pays the best around here, and they have good benefits.
Nearly everyone who has retired from there is multi-millionaires and these workers are just your basic blue-collar guys.
All you need is to consistently invest in the stock market and let time do the rest.
