Yes, I didn't want to extend this into the income stream just yet, first wanted to get the basics of asset allocation worked out. Definitely inflation has to be factored in but most income streams will have some form of cola built into them, thinking rentals and retirement programs so inflation can be ignored at the gross planning level at first glance. Besides as we grow older, we'll probably find ways to reduce the annual cash flow. For instance, I could see as we slow down over the years, selling off things like that infinite cash sinkhole which floats. One thing which may be implicit in my prior post is that I am not adverse to considering pruning the asset tree as we go along. So there is both classical "income" plus capital consumption to help fund the overall cash flow.
