The S&P 500 has an average annual RoI of 7% – 10%. Other indices return at comparable rates. Why, then, do so many investors end up with significantly lower, or even negative returns?

This question has bothered me for days. If, on average, returns are greater than the rate of inflation, why do investors so commonly end up with significant losses or net-zero returns?

Is it a matter of perception? Is it that the average investor actually does have a positive RoI, but I’m more likely to hear about those who lose?
