I'm 36, and in the maximum saving stage (ration of [compounding years ahead] + [rate of money going into savings] is at a peak), so there is evidence that a correction right now (within the next 5 years) would be ideal for me - and I see it coming. If/when it does I'll just continue putting aside as much as I can through it. I'm currently putting away about 10% of my net worth every year (that's dropping 1-2% a year because the market and my saving is outpacing the growth in salary and what I set aside). The longer the market stays up... the more I'm missing on the opportunity to capitalize on the longer term compounding, to a degree. Because of what goes up...
That all said, the biggest thing I'm hoping for, is that my retirement starts on the early stages of a bull market - so I'd love for a bull run to occur sometime in the early 30's. That would benefit me much more So however the market moves between now and then I hope it's looked at as in a lackluster (depressed) state about 15 years from now. That would be ideal for me to go into retirement confident that the wave of prosperity is coming. Also if I'm able to save enough to retire in my 50's on the tail end of a bear market and I'll be golden for the decades to come.
I suppose that is backwards thinking. But we are all a little backwards here
