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

0:32.6

are someone who's planning on exiting the workforce early and you don't have a source of income,

0:37.4

1:34.2

do that. Well, that's step two of financial order of operations. That's free money. You got

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

1:47.4
