66 and maybe too attached to dividend stocks
Retired part-time, probably fully done within a year. I spent decades liking dividend stocks because the cash payments felt tangible. Now I'm wondering if I built too much of my comfort around the feeling rather than the total-return reality.
Current allocation:
- 30% broad equity funds
- 25% dividend stock funds / individual dividend names
- 25% bonds
- 20% cash
Am I overthinking this at 66, or is this exactly when I should stop being sentimental?
