That's much more feedback than I really expected to get from my post. Thank you, Kirk. Your newsletter got me interested in the CD approach a few years ago. I just never applied your sensible formula. I'll be 83 in a few weeks. At that, and not being able to make many changes with my CD funds before early 2020, I think I'll begin planning on a 1/3:2/3 split between Vanguard and CDs. I will be able to comfortably live with that, believing I'll live long enough to see wisdom in this decision. Many thanks!

Kirk
regarding your 120 minus your age approach, how do you consider Social security payments in your thinking? Do you recognize that as being part of the bonds, cash CDs bucket?
