I'm sure this has probably been discussed to death, but I'm having a difficult time even determining what terms to search on.
My problem: DW and I would like to retire in 10-12 years or so, when I'm about ~55 and she'll be ~53. I've run various calcs and it seems like we're on track, but I'm not sure how to set up accounts to cover us for the 8-10 years until we can begin drawing from our 401Ks and collect SS.
What types of investments are most common to cover this "bridge" gap? Could someone point me to some threads and/or books that provide strategies in this regard?
Thanks.
