In reply to Leon @ Make Save Invest Money. Exactly! It doesn't seem like a huge amount on a monthly basis, but over the course of years it seriously adds up

In reply to jami. And for the record, I find all your charts extremely informative and am impressed at your ability to take data and consolidate it into very easy to understand graphs.

Hey Zach,

I really like this.
So for just under $2,000 per month for 18 years and you would be a millionaire by now.
For just $1,000 pm and you would be sitting on half a million. Still a sizeable sum.
Very little excuse for most people to become millionaires during their working lifetimes…
This also excludes property and businesses…

An additional table showing the total amount invested would be interesting as well.
For example:
year 2000-2017 at 22325*18=401850
year 2001-2017 at 23674*17=402458
year 2002-2017 at 25358*16=405728
