A quiet day here at the marko household and I'm trying to figure out my 'net, net inflation' investment gain over the past 15 years.
Some of you here know that I'm really bad at math so please be kind.
Can I just take my starting balance from 15 years ago, look up what that amount is in today's money, calculate that amount vs today's balance and divide by 15?
I'm not looking for "3 decimals accuracy".
For example, $100 in 2006 is now about $137. If today's balance is $200, can't I divide (137/200)/15)*100 to get 4.5% average annual net inflation gain?
