Ben Felix | Geometric vs. arithmetic returns @BenFelixCSI | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Yesterday I posted a video explaining why Dave Ramsey’s claim that retirees can safely spend 8% of their portfolios did not make sense.

I realized after posting that his claim was even worse than I initially thought.

The S&P 500 returned around 12% per year 1926-2022 measured as an arithmetic average.

Measured as a geometric average, which is what matters to investors, it has been closer to 10%.
