If you're talking about the returns, assuming USA will stand for 1000 more years and not collapsing soon, index funds and the likes does not produce enough return to offset the inflation.
It might be able to reduce the effect of inflation on your money, at best.
If you have 10 million dollars or something, putting them in index fund probably can keep you fed and clothed and housed, since the return, although small in percentage, is large enough for you to live on.
If your fund is small, then you can't even live on them.
Problem is, USA is a collapsing empire.
Most likely all of these funds will bite the dust around 10 more years, but not before inflation annihilate all values from your fund.
So the advice of 'put money in index fund, let usury grow your fund, wait till retirement and then enjoy free money" is no longer valid because the current jewish monetary system won't even last that long.
I also have some of these 'index' fund, but I'm not under any illusion that they will make real profit.
People who stack gold doesn't stack because they think it'll make them rich AKA profiting off them.
They stack to preserve their assets from the accursed touch of ZOG debt-based monetary system which will collapse in your lifetime.
So that, one day, after the dust have settled, out of the ashes, they have something to kickstart their life back up again.
But, to get income, what is proven to work, tried-and-tested in all of history is having some sort of skills or making something, then trade these skill or things with money. You can be a barber, a farmer, transporter, trader, anything.
Then you save your income frugally, building your life little by little.
You are your biggest asset. If you're willing to work/do something, you can always figure things out slowly, one step at a time.
The problem nowdays is, everybody wants easy money without working for it, by being accomplice in jewish scams.
You figure out what to do, I can't
