It depends on your life goal strategy. It is all about opportunity costs, if your investments can grow to keep for retirement then why not? Its about prioritising what you really want/need in life. If you value housing/wedding more, than cash out the investments to fund it. If you value a more comfortable retirement many years down the road later, then cut down on the big ticket items. Look at the long horizon.

Why is it that many people advise investors to set specific goals before investing and what would they like to achieve? (E.g. to buy a house, to fund children’s education, etc.)? What if I don’t care?

27M- i have 6 months of income stashed away as emergency funds. i also have 6 investments comprising of a range e.g bonds,etf, ilp. i also have money set aside for big expenses like house etc?
