For reference, here was my poll https://twitter.com/decadeinvestor/status/1309562425432309764
Before I break it down, here are my assumptions:
-2% stock growth per year
-4% dividend yield
-$500/month (account starting at $0)
-DRIP
*this is all hypothetical growth, make sure to do your DD when investing

THAT is the power of compounding
