Coming into cash sounds like a nice problem to have, but it's often not so simple.
Markets are fickle. Even if we knew exactly what was going to happen in the world before they did, it's another matter entirely to guess what the reaction would be. Investors in gold, bonds and US equities might currently be experiencing a bit of shock at how markets have performed this year.
One of the perks of investing is that it doesn't require much work to be successful. In fact, an industry adage is to ‘invest and forget'. But doing a check under the bonnet once in a while ensures that your investments are still serving their purpose.

But that might not line up with how inflation has felt for you in the past year, and there's a good chance your instincts are right.
In the past 10 years, global stocks have dropped from peaks by over 10% four times before reaching new highs again. But that doesn't prevent inevitable nerves as we wonder if this time, the drop will be different and leave us out of pocket on the hard-earned cash we've invested for a prolonged period.

I recently learned that my mum purchased her first home (with no assistance) at age 24. My largest purchase by age 24 was a MacBook.
