I retired at the first of the year. I have my bond/cash allocated to V/G: Total Bond Mkt - 13% High Yield Corp - 6% 6 month CD's - 11% Prime MM - 14% The MM seems to be paying the most right now,if you consider gains + yields, but I notice they charge 0.3% E/R. Anyone have any better ideas?

O.K. you experts out there. I have just retired & moved all my assets (about $1.1 mil) to VG. I just received their recommendation and they don't cut it in my 1997 to date model. They wanted to put more about 34% in LC (including US growth (ugh)) including 40% into the various bond accounts...

I plan to RE in the next year at age 62. With my wife's retirement, plus my SS giving us 50% of what we need, I am thinking I don't need the standard 40 to 50% of my investments in bonds. I still would allocate the other assets. I still have a house payment, but it is low. Inputs? ???
