Passive vs Active Investing

People always forget about costs, taxes and inflation when looking at real returns over time, they chop into returns in a big way, especially when compounding the end result.

4.8% annually vs 2.0% annually, over 30 years is a HUGE difference.

Another one:
A very simple example:

$10,000 into each scenario with zero contributions over 30 years nets:

$65,230 (passive, 4.8%)

vs

$22,080 (active, 2.0%)

Passive beats active by ~3x, when compounded over 30 years with lower fees, taxes and inflation.
