Rereading her book, "The Joy of Financial Security" prompted me to seriously review my asset allocation, which I never gave much thought to when I was younger but at age 81 bears scrutiny. Anyway, I find it a literal gold mine of what to consider.

Donna addresses the psychological side of investing as well as the nuts and bolts which has helped me pass my "sleep at night" test.

If anyone is currently wanting to take a hard look at the asset allocation in their portfolio I recommend her helpful book.
I don't think Asset Allocation applies to my small amount of retirement savings.
