Counting in 2.5% yearly inflation and local taxes, my money invested now would only double in value in 20 YEARS?!?!?!

I did some maths. I put in €5000 into an ETF. If it grows by 8%, and inflation grows by 2.5%, after a 15% tax cut I would only have the equivalent of ~€10000 in almost TWENTY YEARS??????

But I can’t afford to buy property right now, so to protect any savings from inflation I have to invest for a very small return?

This world is BS. Having us constantly working and worrying about money.

If I invest solely in a global ETF, with thousands of companies, what are the chances that in 10 years I will lose money?

I'm scared to invest.

But for me to make a loss, it would only be if there was some global collapse, where money wouldn't even matter anymore?
