"From 1969 to 1999, a balanced investment portfolio (60% S&P 500 Stocks, 30% bonds, 10% cash) had an average annual rate of return of about 12%."

Dale, do not forget that between 12/69 and 12/99, the US CPI went from 37.7 to 168.3, giving an annualized inflation rate of 5.11 %. So the real money return should be 6.55 %, not bad really...but as you say it's not a given for the future.
