I like the idea of some money in index funds, and fully agree that the low management fees are a plus.

I agree with you regarding bonds. But, I don't think that I agree with you regarding Index Funds. I think that they are a great way to invest in equities. I like to invest in an S&P 500 Index fund and a Russell 2000 index fund. I think that this provides some diversity between large cap stocks and small cap stocks. The other great thing about index funds is their low management fees. Picking a winning mutual fund is a crap shoot. You might as well get low management fees. Great post SpendIt.
