There is no guarantee the stock market will return money in the future. The past does not equal the future and in fact some experts predict that the stock market will return around 3% on average going forward. Also even if the average return was 7% most people have achieved much less than that.

Obviously it's less effort to invest in the stock market so if you're talking about the amount of effort then yes investing is easier

It will always return money as long as it exists. How much it will return is debatable.

Uh, you said, "In my experience it's much easier to make 1 million then it is to invest 1 million and make another million."

What is this about, if not effort?
