Fritz: I was initially drawn to the bucket strategy. It has every bit of appeal for me because there is a simple sort of flow through it. But as I get into the details and sometimes when I hear you explain this, I almost don't trust myself enough to not be the market timer that I know. Kirsten: How do you speak to someone who is in my position like this? Fritz: The value of the simplicity first, and then I'll get into the how you manage it.

Do you worry about running out of money in retirement? How do you draw down your assets without tanking your portfolio?
