Is an index fund a good investment?

An index fund can be a great investment. If you read the works of John Bogle (who founded the Vanguard Group), he argues that an index fund has the best possible potential of maximizing your return with little risk and, more importantly, costing you the lowest amount in fees. The more you pay in fees, of course, the lower your return. A good index fund like an S&P 500 index fund or a total market fund performs well over time and won't cost you much.
