However, I wonder how many of our retirees actually follow such “common sense” advice?
I bet many stay heavily invested in stocks.. In the last few years I’ve flown with 6 guys/gal who’re within a couple of years of retiring. I picked their brains about their retirement plans and to my surprise all but one had a large portion of their retirement savings ‘parked’ in stocks. They’re willing to take a risk because they had backup income (pension, IRAs and in one case military retirement).
This mindset is probably more common than we think. By the way, I’m not criticizing them, it’s entirely their prerogative. Just highlighting the idea ‘early retirement’ numbers might change because of the stock market drop.
