Looking to invest in an index fund, but admittedly, I know very little about them...just that they should be part of a diversified portfolio.
We are about 4 years from retirement and are in good shape financially. Pension, 401k, IRAs, 403b, taxable brokerage account.
We have a fair amount of cash just sitting (in addition to an emergency fund). Between pension and cash, we will not need to without any monies from retirement accounts (prior to RMDs) and we can delay social security.
Is an index fund something we should consider or should we just let the cash sit?
