I’m 68 years old. The Long haul is a little shorter for me LOL.

I don’t have a lot but what I do have is in vanguard Wellington and vanguard money market. I haven’t even bothered to look at it the last couple days.

Money market funds shouldn’t be down much, those are short term bonds. VWELX is down 4% this week, it is doing much better than the broad indexes.

“I’m 68 years old. The Long haul is a little shorter for me LOL.”

I’m 68, as well. My portfolio is pretty diversified; so, although I took a hit on some of my accounts, I wasn’t hurt at all on others. I have CDs, Money Markets, and other liquid assets, and I’m not going to touch the IRAs until I have to take the RMD in four years. My money will outlive me, so my wife should be set financially.
