Some financial consultants will try to get you to use IRA money for lots of bad investments. The most popular is annuities, which is another bad idea.

It reminds me of the story about a bank robber named Willie Sutton. When asked why he robbed banks, he said, "that is where the money is". For many people, their largest asset is their IRA.
