Like Roth’s study pointed out, you can be the market average and still beat nearly 60% of actively-managed funds out there every year. And beating 88% of them over the span of 25 years?! That’s amazing and so incredibly effortless.

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoy your blog. The H and I had a similar awakening in 2011, moving everything from a traditional brokerage model to Vanguard with the help of a fee-only financial planner. Mr. Bogle is interviewed in this 2013 Frontline episode titled, “The Retirement Gamble” (https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-retirement-gamble/). It really highlights the long-term negative impact of fees on retirement planning and net worth. Worth a view, IMO. My favorite Bogle quote (paraphrasing from memory): “Why would anyone invest in a program where you put up 100% of the capital, you take 100% of the risk, but you only get 30% of the return.” Indeed.
