Quoted from ek77:Panzer you can tell your self you only payed $6500 but the return for the s&p 500 2012 13.41% 2013 29.60% 2014 11.39% you payed far more then $6500
Or for those who prefer less risk, a three year CD for example, probably about 2%.
Easy to look back at market return, we all have woulda, coulda, shoulda stories from real estate to stocks to girlfriends to wives.
