Default 20 years
Since most of us are not going to live another 80 years (looking back at market performance since 1920's)............here is what I've seen over the last 20 years (thru 2012, does not include the amazing 2013 Equity results) :

Equity Index is up 8.10%
Bond Index is up 6.00%
T Bills are up 3.20%
Commodities are up 5.75%
CPI is up 2.45%

Investing is a personal preference.....risk, reward, being able to pay bills and being able to sleep at night.
