Good Saturday everyone. I just found this forum a few days ago and been enjoying reading through it. Been reading SA for a couple of years and am drinking the kool aid as they say. When I read the DVK article on SA about John Bogle's thoughts about SS and pensions, it opened my eyes. I'm 6 months away from a Fla retirement system pension and one week after I go off payroll will be 62. The wife says take the SS, but I want to keep working just for something to do (she works two more years then also retires from Fla state government). Anyway, I am transitioning into a DGI style portfolio, and am considering the pension I'll receive and the SS when I get ready to tap,it as my " bond" fund. That's a very interesting concept in the D. van Knapp article about "capitalizing" the pension and SS. Thanks for the interesting posts.
