In another thread focusing on the financial tribulations of my MIL, many alternative sources of retirement income were highlighted which made me curious...

So, if you are retired or semi-retired, what were your sources of income in 2008? If you are a young dreamer like me, what sources of income do you envision having in retirement?

Equity dividends? Bond dividends? Interests from savings account, MMFs, CDs? SS? Pension? Rents from investment properties or roommates? Reverse mortgage? Annuity? Part-time work? Asset sale? Capital gains? Hobby? Book royalties? etc...

A typical post could be formatted as follows:
SS 40% of total income
Pension (COLA) 20%
Dividends (stocks) 10%
Dividends (bonds) 10%
Annuity 10%
Tips from gig at the Go-Go lounge 10%

Anyways, for me it will likely be:
Annuity (COLA) 33%
Dividends (stocks and bonds) 67%

Now it's your turn...
