Re: "The wifes pension and our SS I would classify as cash, but how would you give it a percentage?"

Assuming that the pension is a certainty, and will not fail or get reduced, you can calculate the equivalent value of a bond that would produce the total yearly pension. At this time, the calculated equivalent "bond" value would be about 20 times as much as the annual pension amount. So, if your wife's pension is $20,000 per year, that would be equivalent to a $400,000 bond. You could use that amount as a shaddow asset in your asset allocation calculations.

Best wishes,
