Episode notes

With interest rates coming up, I've looked at it as a potential longevity hedge where you buy a deferred annuity that doesn't kick in until you're age 80 or something. And then you've got, you know, that will last the rest of your life. So they are, they are interesting. You can almost build your own annuity and never thought of it this way. But for my bucket to bonds and I've just started, I'm about building a bond ladder.

Do you worry about running out of money in retirement? How do you draw down your assets without tanking your portfolio? Eric + Jason talk with FIRE bloggers Karsten Jeske and Fritz Gilbert about the bucket strategy. Is it a reasonable withdrawal plan or nothing more than a gimmick? They discuss alternative approaches, how to generate a retirement paycheck, and the role of cash. Whether you're interested in FIRE or on a traditional retirement path, you can't afford to miss this episode!
