I am a 42 year old and keep getting told I need to move to less risky investments (bonds) as I age and near retirement (say at 62). I understand the situation but think it is a little too early. My logic is that even in retirement, I will need to grow my money and assuming I live till 82, it is too early to back off riskier options (stocks - not speculation). Maybe at 55 I can see that but 42 is too early. What do (similar aged) folks on this board think?
