FWIW, I think it's optimistic to assume 6% real returns for retirement planning purposes the coming decades.


Serious question: Why do you think that and how did you get there?

Real returns 1950-2009 are 7% [1], so my numbers are already rounded down a bit. You might further adjust for, say Shiller 10 year P/E numbers, but how complex do you want to make it?
