The Dow Jones Industrial Average could be headed to 

100,000 by 2030.

That's according to financial expert Ric Edelman, author of 

The Truth About Your Future: The Money Guide You Need 

Now, Later and Much Later.

The blue-chip index is currently trading at about 21,000. 

A surge to 100,000 would represent a roughly 376% increase.

"If I'm wrong, it'll be 150,000," he said. "We're going to see 

incredible profits in the United States, as well as globally."

Edelman's book aims to educate investors on how to save 

for retirement in the age of technology, where life 

expectancy is on the rise.

"If you think you're going to retire at age 65 and die at 85, 

forget it," he added. "You're going to live to 110 or 120."

He said "retirement" won't exist in the 21st century. "That 

means you're going to work a lot longer and you're going 

to save a lot longer," he said.

Edelman points to technology, which is helping people 

invest. Technology, he said, has brought down the cost 

of investing considerably via exchange traded funds.
