absolutely do not buy oil futures or a stake in an exploration venture ! !!! put it in index funds and max your retirement accounts . that ' s it . get Total Money Makeover and Retire Inspired and read them . don ' t spend a dime more than expenses for a modest standard of living for the next several years . <| sep |> yeah i didnt think of that , but then again a lot of people do group buys so they dont pay that much for it , but they are still paying for it still i suppose <| sep |> There are plenty of people who have bad ideas , say bad things , or even do bad things . Does this invalidate everything they think , say , or do ? Should we ignore someone because we disagree with them ? Even a stopped clock is right twice a day .
