I have an emergency fund with ~$22k (at 4.75%, in a HYSA). I have been putting just about everything at the…

Safe to move all retirement into one target date fund? I’m a 43-year old woman who has grown more actively interested in my investments. I’ve always beeen a good saver, but really relied on a financial advisor to guide me – even to the point of taking an active disinterest because “I don’t want to think about money” when my avoidance was really based in fear.

I guess I don’t quite understand the logistics as to why it would be that …
