allow believe easier funds guess investment month mutual pay problem security social whether
They always say pay yourself first, whether in mutual funds or in the bank, because if you pay yourself last, guess what? At the end of the month there's nothing left.

There are lots of different kinds of investing nicely matched against the structure of a closed end fund, that are not matched through other things. But this is not something you necessarily buy and hold forever. You've got to watch interest rates ... and be somewhat involved. But do you need to be an expert? No.
