I and my family owe much to John Bogle: Likely this NYT quote considerably understates the performance and cost advantages of Vanguard's index funds.

"Since 1984, less than half of the actively managed mutual
funds that invest in a broad array of American stocks have
outperformed Vanguard’s Index 500 fund, one of the world’s largest,
with more than $441 billion in assets under management, according
to Vanguard."

Note that the few funds/managers that beat index funds don't beat them by much. Not all my money is in index funds but even my 17 or so individual stocks function as a private index fund with comparable or better results.
