I wanted to draw everyone's attention to a thread over on Boglehead's from Bob of "Bob's Financial Website" which discusses "Maximizing Predictable Income in Retirement"
Bogleheads :: View topic - Article: "Maximizing Predictable Income in Retirement&q
Bob shows how combining Social Security benefits, a TIPS ladder, and an inflation-linked fixed immediate annuity interact in 21 different scenarios to provide a reliable inflation-linked income stream. The author comes up with a conclusion about whether to delay SS benefits, when to start the inflation-linked immediate annuity, and how much of TIPS ladder you might need.
This is reminiscent of the work of Jim C. Otar that has been discussed here before.
It seems like the article is more appropriate for folks here in or near the decumulation phase than for Bogleheads who are mostly in the accumulation phase.
I think it is simply a superb analysis which all the engineers here will like. It's not from me, but I admire the guy who wrote it: Thanks Bob!
(Maybe Bob posts over here, I don't know.)
