I have been very happy modeling with "Flexible Retirement Planner". It does Monte Carlo simulations and has a nice combination of graphical and numerical outputs. It also has a good amount of flexibility (must be the name!) without being overly complicated.

Jonathan, I was shocked to read about your diagnosis this morning. We are the same age, and your ideas and philosophies have shaped my financial investment perspective and actions for decades. You have been my silent financial partner over those years helping me explain and rationalize my investment approach with my wife through the many articles of yours that I have shared with her. My wife and I have been retired for five years this month--your insight helped us to achieve that goal. You have built a wonderful place at Humble Dollar complete with a diverse set of writers that hosts an open and civil exchange of ideas (which is not easy these days). I read it every morning. I wish you and your family strength for the battle ahead. We are sending lots of positive energy your way for support.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm at 60/40 stocks/bonds but already into the official retirement phase. With the bond outlook seemingly not so great, I've been considering taking on a bit more risk by shifting slightly. That is also why I liked carving out the Roth part of the portfolio that is looking like it could go the kids. That way I can keep "our" part at 60/40 and feel like I'm at least being a little more aggressive with the Roth portion.

Thanks for the informative post Jonathan. I really like the concept of carving out the Roth savings that my wife and I can earmark for our kids from the rest of the portfolio that we will most likely use and need to balance. May I ask what rough stock/bond mix you target in your portfolio? I apologize if I missed that somewhere in another post.
