I’m a very late bloomer when it comes to saving. Only began about 4 years ago. I am now 56. I have a 403b with about 52K (contribute about 12K a year) a Roth IRA with 18k (opened it late last year and plan to keep maxing it out). a few brokerage accounts totaling about 35K, an Acorns account with 10,500K and I have a CD that will mature very soon that is now worth about 103K. My question is what should I do with the money from my CD? I’m a little worried with the current geopolitical situation and hesitate to put it into one of my brokerage accounts. Does it make sense to put it back into another CD? Should I invest half (brokerage account) and put the rest into a CD or HYSA to have as an emergency fund? Any help would be appreciated.

1. IF you don’t already have an emergency fund, then do that.
2. I would be investing as much as I could to get some kind of a retirement.
Putting 100% back into a CD might feel safe
