Of course no one knows the answer to your question, becuase no can predict the future.

But, most experts agree that a 50/50 Stock/bond portfoilo, should provide about a 3-4% 'real return'. I think Vanguard has some tools on their website that will allow you construct a portfolio and they will predict a return.

If we ever see TIPS at 2.5% return, that would be a good way.
