Going to a 100% Stock Asset Allocation Due to Nice Pension – Anyone else doing this?
On condition that, I’ve determined to go together with a 100% Inventory Asset Alloocation being 80% home and 20% worldwide with a medium sized tilt to small/medium caps. I believe that can give us the most important potential return given we’re unlikely to the touch the shares till effectively into our 70s once we may have LTC (we’re self insuring) or paying for grand children tuition and so forth.
The caveat is that we’re in California and the Californian Rule (defending pensions) applies to Ms Cheapo (25% of our pension quantities) however most likely to not me (75% of pension quantity) as I am not technically a authorities employee (although I work for a state entity).

You’ll be able to nonetheless make a much bigger pile of money with some fastened revenue in your portfolio. We additionally use further cashflow to purchase extra inventory to provide to our kids.

Inherited wealth usually will get blown shortly. Possibly your children would be the exception. I am not occupied with enriching descendants such that they do not need to work and contribute to society.

The query I might have with that’s the annuity charges for somebody younger (“early retirement”) mixed with no or almost-no COLA.

The OP has a COLA pension in order that’s a very totally different scenario.
