Make sure your portfolio is well diversified whether you're close to retirement or a long way off.
Loading up on S&P 500 ETFs gives you exposure to the broad market, and it's a good option for people who don't have the time or skills to research stocks individually.
If you're decades away from retirement, a more stock-heavy portfolio may be appropriate.
