34.6% Bonds/"Fixed Income"

8.6% CDs/I-Bonds
0.8% Fixed-rate annuities
18.5% Preferred stocks/closed-end bond funds (variable and fixed)

widower, 63. 14th year of ER.

65,32,3 stocks,bonds,cash - 85% Target Retirement 2015, 15% individual stock or Drip plans.

Early SS and non cola pension provide 40% of income at throttle up and estimate that plus current yield could cover 100% easily in throttle back mode.

I'm giving retirement a trial run. May go back PT in August after youngest leaves for college. I'll be more prone to do so if the market tanks.

DH is winding own business down -- considers it PT at this point.

Guess we're sort of easing in to retirement...

55 for myself 57 for spouse

we use a rather unorthodox allocation method

money we will need over the next 6-7 years 100% cd's money markets, short term bonds

7-14 years, 100% laddered treasury bonds, unlisted reit paying 8.5%, bond funds of assorted types. thinking of adding an index linked annuity with guaranteed floors as a kicker to income

15 yrs plus 75% stock funds 25% strategic bond funds, real return funds, commoditiy funds

[NinjaPigeon]
