It’s a term people use to describe what they have to depend on in their retirement, or if they’re faced with an emergency.  It implies something sustaining and protective, but also precious and fragile. For many of us, even slight cracks to our nest eggs in a volatile stock market can have us running to the fire exits. But there’s a way to look at the nest egg as something other than easily breakable….something that can take the ups and downs that come with investing, continuing to grow even after retirement.
