Oh-and by the way-if you have the vast majority of your ‘real’ money in cash and short term munis, you may not be risking nominal principal, but history suggests that you ARE taking a significant risk in purchasing power.  Actuaries will tell you that either your or your spouse(poor woman must have the patience of a saint) have a better than 50% chance of living long enough to see your cost of living more than double.

Have you ever heard of inflation?  Ever looked at an Ibbotson chart?

If one invests in short term maturies how are they taking "significant risk" in purchasing power?
