If it's a tax advantaged account I might advise vanguard target retirement for the relevant year so the glide is handled for OP, but this is a great suggestion too.

the simplest solution is probably a vanguard target retirement fund, which has a mix of us and international stocks and bonds that automatically adjusts as you age. |
