I find it funny how people here talk about these double digit returns on equities like it was a some guarantee.

Most people I know who have invested fairly heavily in US equities over the past 10 years have done quite well, but to talk about these 50+% returns is retarded. I highly doubt anyone here, let alone in the industry managed to pull off massive returns in the last 20 years. Done well? Sure. But these comparisons vs the housing market are the most ideal outcomes possible, and assuming people REALLY knew what they were doing when it came to investing.

On the other hand someone purchased a home and did nothing and made a 20%+ return.
