Not so sure about that. My parents were thinking that, and now that they want to retire, they are finding it’s a crappy time to do that.
If you are looking to retire soon, most of your money should be in very safe investments. Stocks in any form don’t qualify. A lot of people don’t know that. A lot of people don’t realize that they have to look out for themselves way more than most people think they do. Lots of friends and family members of mine are in the same place. It sucks, but maybe it’s a lesson learned.
