Time horizon is how long you plan to hold an investment before needing the money. Longer horizons allow more risk (stocks); short horizons favor stability (bonds, cash). Retirement in 30 years vs 3 years changes strategy.
Example
Saving for a house in 2 years? Use bonds/cash. Saving for retirement in 30 years? Stocks make sense.
