Karsten: I focus my energy to into the areas where it actually makes a difference, right? So for example, at age 70, I will claim Social Security and then my wife claims her benefits. How much of a difference does that make? It's actually for some retirees that makes a tremendous difference. He says he is probably somewhere smack in the middle in between something like 70, 30, 70% stocks and 30% diversifying assets. That would really take some serious market timing and probably not enough luck or good fortune.
Do you worry about running out of money in retirement? How do you draw down your assets without tanking your portfolio?

They discuss alternative approaches, how to generate a retirement paycheck, and the role of cash.
