Even if you can't stomatch any volatility in the markets you need to have a diversified portfolio including stocks so that you don't outlive your money. A 50-75% stock allocation would work ok for Bill. Just because the inflaiton has been 3% on average, does not mean that it can't spike up above 10%-15% in a single year.If double digit inflation picks up, Bill would have to stop playing golf and start looking for a job.
