1. Revisit Your Savings and Investing Goals
Your 50s are a key time to fully prep for retirement, whether it’s five years away or 15. At this point, says Taylor, you should be “all in,” saving as aggressively as you can.
So portfolio management can become even more critical now. “It’s time to focus on preparing your portfolio to shift from growth to a combination of growth and income,” says Taylor.
Typically, this means reducing risk, which can be accomplished by reducing stock holdings and increasing the percentage of bonds. “You’ll also probably want to re-examine the fees you pay within your portfolio, and look for a discount brokerage firm to hold your accounts with low-cost index funds and exchange-traded funds available,” adds Taylor.
As you get closer to retirement, your emergency savings goal should now be one to two years of cash. “This way, if a ’2008′ hits the year you retire, you can just spend cash,” says Taylor.
