If I had put $20,000 a year for 30 years in an investment at a crummy 5 percent, I would have almost 1.5 million dollars in my retirement account, which beats the crap out of Social Security.

If I managed to get 7 percent, equivalent to the long term growth of the stock market, I would wind up with over 2 million dollars. Sigh.
