### Comment:
Considering inflation, I could buy all the McDonald's right now if I had invested in 1972.  In the worse case scenario I'd be able to at least afford Healthcare.

### REPLY:
Um that’s not how this works. If you’d lived in 1972 you’d have had far less money than you do now (because inflation, minimum wage was about $1) and would probably be bitching that you should have started investing in 1932.
