From the thread header:

"All the retirement literature will tell you that as you get older you put more money into bonds. Have to play it safer they say."

The goal is not to see how much money I can have. The goal is to at some point have all dividends paid out to live on, while never touching any principal, which is allowed to grow.
At the same time having the dividend payout increase yoy.

Since mainly what I was aiming at with that header statement was asset allocation in retirement, I think target retirement funds, rather than any of the standard indexes, would be the right benchmark.

Figuring three and a half years to retirement and five years living off CDs, I'll use target retirement funds with a date of 2015 since the funds generally run in five year increments.
