The portfolio at the top is mine (husband, 82 yo); generous monthly retirement benefit from CalSTRS (California State Teachers Retirement System) and a small SocialSecurity income.
Portfolio below is wife's (67) with an about-average Soc Sec payment.
Except for yearly RMDs I don't withdraw from these accounts.
I realize my account is somewhat aggressive for my age and have pared back some of my FXAIX but would appreciate any insight into what I could do to make less so but still earn some $$$.
My wife worries (don't they all?!) about about a crash but I feel she is still young enough to recoup any losses considering her age.
I have looked at FSANX and/or FASMX for my account but have not made any moves as yet. I think they call it "paralysis by analysis".
Any suggestions/critiques/inoput would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
