A more conservative return (e.g., 6%) would yield around $2.2 million, while a higher return (e.g., 10%) could push it toward $4.5 million.
If the worker made $33,000 a year, a 7% return for 43 years could grow to approximately $1.39 million.
A more conservative return (e.g., 6%) would yield around $1.09 million, while a higher return (e.g., 10%) could reach about $2.23 million.

In 43 years, a million dollars is not going to be worth much.
