• I agree with Mike Tyson. I really won't know until it happens, but I do have a plan. I'm a big believer in diversification. Not only in investment sectors and countries but also in income. We currently have five income streams. If anything happens to any of them we'll still be ok. Admittedly long term care could become a financial issue but with our income streams being permanent we should be all right

• I'll "one up" your "how did I get by all these years without a spreadsheet" with the fact that I have no idea what a spreadsheet it. And I'm ok with it

• I feel like we got to a certain stage of life that that there isn't a right or wrong answer to your questions but there is a better or not answer. Peace of mind is our most important take away. My wife and I are both retired, but I do work in our small town's Parks Department to give me something to do and to get me out of the house. We divide that income by completely contributing to our Roth and dividing the rest into savings accounts. We don't have any debt, we've paid cash for our vehicles the last ten years, and our home has been paid off for twenty years.

• When I read articles about withdrawal rates and I look into it I run into an issue. Most calculators starts with a certain dollar amount. Can you recommend to me some free calculators use to include multiple pensions and retirement accounts

• We've been on our SERS MA plan through the Ohio School Retiree System for two years now. We are completely satisfied with the cost, the network, the providers, the services and the perks. We have had no cost increases, not our family doctor cost of visit went from$20 to$0.

• We've had bucket accounts before our bank ever offered them. All of our income (2 Social Security and 3 Pensions) goes into our online checking account at Ally. From there money gets sent to a new car bucket, a vacation bucket, a rainey day bucket, and a small is transferred to a local bank for cash to run on if we need it. All of our bills are automatically paid from the checking account.

• I agree with you (as I usually do) . The 100% covers all of these and the other 20% is monroe we continue to invest and put into your vacation account, our new car account, and our rainey day miscellaneous spending account
