I do - I spent quite a bit of time project expenses during retirement and


I was very conservative to make sure my math would be good. I also built in plenty of money for travel and country club fees as well as the obvious like healthcare.

Overall my investments are probably still 67% in equities and I am comfortable with that right now. But for many of the reasons you mention, as well as the serious threat of corporate and income taxes being raised again, I am not bullish in the short term on the stock market. If and when the correction comes, I will have more money to buy low.
