For those thinking about their next chapter, remember: it\u2019s not just about growing your nest egg, but making sure your money lasts a lifetime.

Keeping a cash reserve can also give you peace of mind and help you avoid selling investments during downturns. It\u2019s important to maintain some growth in your portfolio to stay ahead of inflation, all while planning your withdrawals in a way that could reduce your tax burden.
