«No one gets rich by saving in the bank,» said Byrke Sestok, a certified
financial planner and president
of Rightirement Wealth Partners in White Plains, N.Y. «If you have 30 years before retirement and 30 years during retirement, then you have the time to participate heavily or totally in the stock market, and ignore the big drops and focus on the fact that stocks have historically proved to be a better - performing asset
class over bonds and cash.»
