I know people are saying that it’s now an up market, but one should only put there “fun money”.

I think you'll find that the vast majority of folks here and elsewhere disagree with you. The stock market is a long-term investment. It is for money that you won't need for 10, 20, 30 years. It is not the place to put your house downpayment or your new car fund or your teen's college money, but you will likely never be able to afford retirement without investing in the market unless you have a great and solid pension plan.
