Cash is a good way to lose money through opportunity cost:

If you're worried about risk and being able to sleep at night, you can dial back from 100% equities (S&P 500, Russell 3000), and do some bonds. Vanguard (e.g.) has funds that are fixed 80/20, 60/40:

This way you don't have to go through the effort of rebalancing yourself.
