In this video, I run the honest, conservative math on a $100,000 investment in VOO to show you what that decade of "passive" investing actually produces versus the theoretical projections you see on most YouTube thumbnails. We discuss why a 10% annual average doesn't mean a smooth 10% each year, how bear market volatility tests your behavioral discipline, and why tax-advantaged accounts like a Roth IRA are essential for long-term wealth preservation. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/peter-pru-option-sellers-school-7298973/episodes/what-100-000-in-voo-actually-looks-like-in-10-years/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/peter-pru-option-sellers-school-7298973/what-100-000-in-voo-actually-looks-like-in-10-years.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
