@DerrickMayFan And? What's your point? The money you make spends just the same in the end.

@brianmurphysn But Rebecca has some wicked halitosis and body odor. One thing is for certain, Rebecca isn't investing in soap and deodorant.

I made the mistake of investing in an actively managed fund for my entire 20's and into my 30's until I finally wised up. The fees eat into your gains, essentially negating any benefit you had with an actively managed fund, assuming it was better in the first place, which most aren't. Perhaps uber-wealthy individuals have access to funds and advice that regular people don't, so it's best to stick to owning the market. With a low cost index fund, and time in the market, it's virtually a guarantee that you will come out ahead.
