AA is very personal. Each person has unique circumstances - wife, kids, health, pension, personal networth, risk tolerance (big one). I sleep well with "less risky" portfolio. I don't like big swings in my portfolio as long as it's keeping up with Inflation plus some more. Most retirement is in Growth... everything else falls in "Balanced" or "Moderate".

Just retired at age 50. As of today we are 74/19/7. Mutual funds include Wellington, T.Rowe 2030, and Vanguard S&P. We have pensions which cover the basics.
