Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Shortly after I retired I bought a small delayed annuity that kicked at 62, figuring if I completely screwed up SS and it would keep the wolf from the door.
Now I ve just finished rebuilding a bond ladder out to ten years that will cover expected expenses not just essentials. (Years 4-10 are 80% TIPS) don’t see much reason to plan any further than that, though SS at 70 more than covers the essentials for me.
Lots of ways to skin this cat and oddly it almost always works out to a 60/40 AA for me.
