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.
