The benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) stock market index has delivered a gain of 67,036% (including dividends) since it was established in 1957. That translates to an average annual return of 10.2%, compounded. That's more than twice the return investors could earn if they held cash right now, even with interest rates at a 15-year high. But, historically, investors who purchased specific individual stocks have far outperformed the return of the S&P 500.

Conventional wisdom teaches investors to buy stocks when they are young, then gradually rebalance their portfolios to favor bonds as they age. That thinking has made target date funds popular. For context, target date funds blend stocks and bonds at different ratios, slowly moving from stock-focused to bond-focused over time. The 60-40 portfolio (60% stocks and 40% bonds) is a popular alternative to target date funds.

Americans who qualify can start collecting Social Security as soon as they turn 62 or as late as 70, but what the government views as your "full retirement age" will fall between 66 and 67, depending on the year you were born. And the reality is that many Americans choose to claim Social Security before they reach full retirement age. One of the most popular ages at which to start collecting Social Security is 65, and this certainly makes sense.
