Think of it like this: If you have $ 30,000 in a tax - free
account with dividends reinvested, you can put yourself in the position to have 8.5 % annual growth plus 1.5 % returns coming from dividend reinvestment, so you could realistically compound your money at 10 % annually
over that
time frame, due to the nature of high - quality cash generating businesses mixed with
long periods of
time and tax - favored holding structures.
