Changing jobs is one of the few moments you can move your retirement money into something you actually control. A self-directed IRA gives you the same balance with a much wider menu of what you can do with it

This is something I've completely changed my mind about in recent years. I now think the idea of a subjective "risk tolerance" is a terrible concept. Everyone gets scared during a bear market. And everyone thinks they won't get scared during a bear market. You will. And it's normal. Your portfolio risk should be based on your financial risk *capacity* and that is absolutely quantifiable if one correctly assesses balance sheet vs income statement health. A 65 year old retiree with $500K withdrawing $20K per year has a vastly different risk capacity than a 65 year old with $5MM withdrawing $50k per year. The person with the superior financial health can take more risk because they have vastly less sequence risk in their financial plan. Young people with stable incomes can typically take more risk because their income is equivalent to a very large and safe fixed income allocation. They should take more equity risk because their income statement health allows it. Age and emotions shouldn't be the primary driver of risk. Financial health and risk capacity should.
