When you hit 55 start thinking about going more conservative, when you hit 60 start getting VERY serious.
You’re welcome. I’ll take my consulting fee in the form of scotch whiskey.
This 100%. Check out "The Three Fund Portfolio" on Bogleheads.org. All you'll ever need. Rebalance as necessary as the years go by.
Just as compound interest does wonders over the long run, compound fees have the same effect negatively. 1% fee doesn't sound like much but compounded over time it is an enormous amount of drag on a portfolio. You want max lift with minimal drag on your money.
