*That's why TIPs are normally recommended for tax-deferred accounts.
You're right about that, jdvalle. I'm in the process of shuffling things around to accommodate a large portion of individual TIPS. What I found is that 403(b) plans don't allow TIPS. So I can't open a 403(b) brokerage account at Vanguard. Since I'm still employed, I can't transfer $ from the 403(b) to an IRA (and I would lose any future protection from creditors if I did). That leaves my IRAs and SIMPLE plans. Then I learn that Vanguard doesn't allow SIMPLE brokerage accounts either. So I must shift $ from the SIMPLE plans to our traditional IRA plans. Nothing is ever simple.
