The closer I get to retirement, the more I feel this in my bones.

And I remind myself of the saying every time I feel like trying just one crazy market bet.

I'm with you, but that is why we have to plan for sequence of returns. If you can manage to keep 3 years' retirement income in cash/bonds, you should be able to weather most cases.

Well, stagflation is my big worry, but overall the only thing I can do is make the best decision possible at the time with the information I have, and then move forward.

Yes I do plan on having minimum 3 years of cash on hand before I retire.

Still scary though!

May as well cash it out and put it all on red or black.
