Next time you are shopping for a birthday card, look at the lowest level of the rack. There you will find birthday cards for 100-year-olds. Think about it, birthday cards commemorating that huge milestone. In fact, ages 85 and older is considered the fastest growing segment of the US population by percentage, and those over 65 should double in number in less than 20 years. For investors, the idea of retiring and going completely into bonds is probably a risky strategy, when confronted with inflation. Stocks and growth assets may then be a bigger part of portfolios for a much longer period of time. Speaking of time, the best time to invest is today, releasing the exponential compounding to do its thing. Thanks to First Trust for the birthday wishes, even if they are jumping the gun.
