Cash is still the King.
With interest rates incredibly low and the stock market doing so well, how much should I keep in liquid assets?

The basic rule of thumb is three times basic living expenses, but if you own a home, make it closer to six months. This money should be kept in an account separate from your everyday funds and any savings for your next car, big trip or celebration. Savings is separate from whatever mix of stocks, bonds and cash you have in your investment accounts.</p>\n<p>If you are retired, you <i>still</i>need a safety account. Even if you have a steady monthly retirement income or withdrawal strategy for your 401(k) account, there may be financial surprises: think a new furnace or air conditioner, storm damage, condo assessments, car repairs, medical and dental bills.</p>\n<p>Income from the stock market is not guaranteed. Ask retirees who saw the value of their investments fall in the dot-com crash of 2000 or in the 2008 financial crisis or in March 2020. Perhaps they even sold in fear, leaving their net worth permanently reduced when prices recovered. Once retired, replenishing those assets is difficult. Having cash buys you time and clearer thinking, and it lets you keep your long-term investing strategy in place.</p>\n<p>Liquid assets are assets you can access quickly and predictably. That is why we start with cash, whether in a savings account, a money-market fund, or a certificate of deposit. Check if the account is insured by the FDIC (money-market accounts are not.) Don’t be swayed by better interest rates, as they are only one part of the story.</p>\n<p>Of course you can sell other assets — from your home to car to jewelry, even stocks and bonds — for cash, turning them liquid. But the dollar value isn’t predictable. Nor in some cases is the time involved. And don’t forget the added cost of capital-gains taxes on investments and, in some cases, your home.</p>\n<p>No matter when you need it, cash holds the same price; investments do not.</p>\n<p>A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is not a safety account, despite what some claim. That is a backup option that may be good to have, but once tapped, it is a loan that must be paid back with interest. No matter how tempting the option, you are taking a risk. Paying off debt is not easy in retirement, even more so when faced with inflation.

But without one, the implications create financial havoc. A retired woman was building her dream home and ran over budget. She withdrew $10,000 from her IRA to make the final payment to the contractor and to get built-ins she wanted in a closet. However, she was only 59.
