The book I suggested, or any number of other basic books, will help you start to understand what an advisor is suggesting. Investing a little time will be worthwhile.

Your 403B is in lieu of a pension. Since you're over 59-1/2 you can touch it without significant penalty if you really want to. But if you don't need to, you probably should just sit on it for awhile. See if you can hold out til you're eligible for Medicare, and then if you need it to cover the cost of part D or whatever they end up having in a few years, and to supplement your social security income, it'll be there for you.

To be upfront, I know absolutely nothing about Lincoln Financial. If your asset allocation is truly 27/73 (stocks/fixed income) and they are calling that their "aggressive portfolio", I would look elsewhere.
Having said that, 27/73 would be considered very conservative but may be appropriate if it lets you sleep at night. However, most advisors say you need at least 40-50% equities (stocks) to keep up with inflation. I would suggest you visit bogleheads.org . John Bogle was the founder of Vanguard. Spend some time on the forum. Introduce yourself and ask questions. Explore the Wiki. There is also a recommended reading list. Hope that helps. |
Not Aggresive

The suggestion to visit Bogleheads.org is a very good one, as is the one to read the Richard Ferri book. As I recall he was a pupil of John Bogle. Richard Ferri also runs a financial adviser firm. The Bogleheads forum which deals with new investor topics a lot. Not only do they discuss investment strategies there is discussion on personal finance, as well.
If you do a search on Investments in this forum, TOTV, you will gain a lot of knowledge right here, as well.. |
