I know I'm an apostate for saying so, but I think the proposition that you must invest most of your nest egg in equities to have a hope of putting food on the table during your retirement years is nothing more
than a myth invented by Wall Street's marketers.
I'd say rather
than try to
invent wish fulfillment with
myth and fairy tales about the way we'd like things to be, why not just find our contentment in our present existence, make ours the best lives we can live and just enjoy the ride we have, rather
than invent one to dream about.
