The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Re: the bucket strategy...

Current financial adviser conventional/standard wisdom outlines the following:
1: 1/3 cash/cash equivalents,TIPS ladders, short term treasuries. or at least enough to cover 3 years of (net) living expenses without withdrawing from growth Bucket. (net) living expenses are mandatory ones, not discretionary, net of "guaranteed" fixed income - SS, pensions, etc.

2: 1/3 intermediate term bonds/fixed income funds with moderate yields. 5-10y duration govt and corporate debt stuff.

3: 1/3 growth stock etfs/funds.

Rebalanced quarterly or 2x/year.

For this, they typically want a fee of .75% to 1.25% of AUM.
