Yes, what you're looking for is better risk adjusted return and diversification for capital preservation especially when you're closer to your retirement year as well. I'll also look at building up annuity payouts to form a baseline for retirement needs.

Personally I'd advise against the use of mutual funds. The fees will erode a lot of the profits, if there are any, over a long term horizon. Consider building an all weather portfolio using Etfs instead

Do people actually sell off their investments to fund their big ticket items like housing and wedding, considering their investments can grow if kept for retirement?

What is the "4% rule" in investing? Came across this while reading about investing. Is 4% really the maximum one should withdraw from one's retirement funds each year?
