See there's the rub. I read that short blog entry, and I thought - none of this applies to me. The only reason I would go to any of these things is free food. We have no investable assets, so we won't be investing anything, in any funds or time shares or anything else. I just want free food at a decent restaurant.
Did that up north, the downside was, we met at 5pm, they talked til 7, and dinner wasn't served til 8.
So now I know that if I do decide to go to one of these things, I'll make sure I have a small meal an hour before the meeting time, and bring a package of peanutbutter crackers to munch on if it starts running longer.
