VTI's 229% 10-year return powers long-term growth, while JEPQ delivers monthly income from covered calls before Social Security begins.
Parking 1 to 3 years of planned withdrawals in SGOV's short Treasury bills keeps cash accessible without forcing equity sales during downturns.
Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset's free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don't waste another minute; learn more here.
You just hit age 59 1/2, and the 10% early withdrawal penalty on your 401(k) quietly evaporated overnight. The money is finally yours to touch without a tax slap. You now get to decide, deliberately, how to position the piece you might actually use in the next decade. Four funds do most of the heavy lifting for this exact moment: Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEARCA:VTI), Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEARCA:VIG), JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:JEPQ), and the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:SGOV).
The benefit is emotional as much as financial. You may not be ready to retire, but you now have greater flexibility than you did a month ago. The danger is treating that newfound access as permission to take unnecessary risks.
