Most investors would be better off taking master investor Warren Buffett's advice: "A very low-cost index [fund] is going to beat a majority of the amateur-managed money or professionally-managed money."

Over 30 years, $17,970. If invested -- $175,000 nest egg. It takes only an hour to start building your tax-FREE wealth account.
