Jeff Beckman knew he wouldn’t get rich working at a nonprofit, so he invested in the stock market. For nearly four decades, Beckman has steadily contributed to an employer-sponsored retirement plan allocated almost entirely to stock funds. He also bought shares of Apple , Berkshire Hathaway and Meta Platforms through a brokerage account. Now, the 63-year-old’s portfolio is worth roughly $1 million—and he has no plans to sell his stocks or rotate toward safer assets, such as bonds, anytime soon.
