So I started looking at some REI meetups to attend...
In San Diego there are so many different groups to attend. One (below), that caught my eye was on Private money raising and also Self Directed Retirement Plans. My question is, are some of these meetups just gurus trying to sell something or are they all just trying to help the investor? This one also charges $20 to attend.

I'm not familiar with this speaker. My rule of thumb is for $20 I don't mind checking out a meeting & listening. Just leave your credit card at home so if there is a blatant up sell, you can sleep on it to decide if it is wise to get further education for the price.
