| 0:00.0 | Now let's go. Let's start it off with Matthew's question. He says, in retirement, do you |
| 0:12.4 | have a target allocation percentage for each bucket? Does this vary depending on your |
| 0:17.6 | retirement age? For example, do fire people or financial independence retire early |
| 0:23.5 | have need a higher taxable brokerage? What do you think? |
| 0:27.6 | To answer the very last part of the question, yes, if you are someone who is fire, if you |

| 0:37.4 | you don't have a rental property, you don't have rich uncle, you don't have something that's |

| 1:38.9 | to do that. You got to be building up either that pre-tax or that Roth bucket so that you don't |
| 1:43.5 | miss that. Contrast that to someone who says, hey, I don't know how to actually have a 401k |
