Unfortunately they are leaving one of the better cash returning investments, rental properties. Stock dividend returns are in the 1.5-3 % range, less advisor fees. Some utilities pay better but principal is always at risk. Of course in theory stocks are inflation fighters and hopefully have some growth potential but that hasn't been the case for the market as a whole for a long time now. Farm land still looks ok if purchased right.
