Contribution rate has nothing to do with investment return.

To be blunt, I could say the same for your 33%.
Different people have different investing strategies. Index funds aren’t producing 33% YoY. Judging by your past posts you have some money in Apple, good on you. Telling someone they are doing something wrong by putting money in an index fund vs your single stocks is like comparing apples to walnuts
Btw I’m up over 290% for the year in case you’re wondering.

it does because everything you invest compounds, meaning more money in means more money out. Also most of my investment is in the s &p

I recently sold all of my Apple holdings (738 shares) @ $161/share and split those proceeds between the S&P 400 and Russell 2000.

Nope.
When the market goes down. That's when you find out how good portfolio is.

i only do 10 percent, im guessing he is doing at least 25 percent. However anything over a 10 percent return is good

If you are contributing 10% and are only getting a 10% return you are basically breaking even.

Telling some one they are breaking even on contributions that earn 10% annually says otherwise.

So you are just about to retire... and you threw all of that money into the stock market???? Are you dumb?
At your point in life there should be a huge percentage of prescous metals, bonds and other low risk low yield investments mixed in.
If there is another 9-11 or market crash your retirement just got a huge amount whipped out and your too old to get it back in a decent time frame.

I am about to retire, which is why I sold all of my Apple holdings and split the proceeds between two more conservative funds. This is primarily why I am up just over 33% YTD.
