Well said. I wonder if people would feel like it was wrong if we just “settled” for getting back all that we paid in, possibly adjusted for inflation. It would still be sort of a loss because we didn’t have the use of our money all that time and the ability to do something with it to make it grow. Still, I bet many would settle for just getting back what they put in.
