In the two examples shown, the person starting in 1928 should have waited until 1941. Then they would have been done in 1968 instead of 1973. You know what’s really odd?

I expect dividend yields to increase over the next decades so the time it takes for you to earn $1000 in income from $1000 will decrease. I don't know how this rule stacks up for UK equities though. I would imagine that since the long-term returns for UK and US stocks have been identical over the past 150 years this rule of thumb would be the same. Monevator,
