One thing I'd like to add. I think most everyone here agrees equities are where you should be long-term. We all think we can beat the index long-term and statistics say that won't happen for all of us. But the good news is you can be well below average and still crush the returns of a CD. It appears a 2% CD will soon be a dream and that may last a decade. You can buy an Aristocrat that trades totally sideways for 10 years and with dividends be no worse off in the end. The only disclaimer is you can't go all in at the top, and we never know where the top really is. You have to have some dry powder to invest for this to work at the end of a bull market, whenever the end is. It's extremely rare when 100% invested is prudent in the short to midterm.
