Is Real Estate Less Risky Than the Stock Market?

Time investing can actually be more valuable than money, relatively speaking. If a 20 year old invested ten thousand dollars and it grew at a five % rate, you'd have 70 thousands dollars by the time you were 60 years old. That same investment would only get you about forty three thousand if you started at 30,. And only 26 thousand if you start at 40. Doesn't really make sense to and invest once you're older and more established, because you'll mess out on the gains of time.
