Does investing in CD's count? Over the years I've been pretty good at finding decent rates and locking them in when I could. Would I have done better in the market? Most likely. But I like not having the extra stress of investing in stocks. For many people that's not an issue, but for me it is. But I've done ok and can live off of my savings with no problem at all....and my net worth continues to go up each year. What more does a person need?
Perhaps you are above average when compared with the overall US population and also with some subset of FI investors. So the ranking would depend on what set of investors we are measuring ourselves against.
So all we have to do is find the right subset of investors to rank ourselves against and we can all feel great.
