One of my favorite personal finance journalists is author and Washington Post columnist, Michelle Singletary. Happy to say that I've gotten to know Michelle a bit through our regular conversations. In her work and presentations, she frequently discusses her thriftiness. So, I wanted to discuss with Michelle an issue that I've observed through talking to a lot of retirees, that if they've been good savers like Michelle, it's difficult to flip the switch into spending. I asked her to discuss that transition in her own household.

Many of you know that I frequently talk about the bucket approach to retirement portfolio construction.

He is the founder of Evensky & Katz/ Foldes Wealth Management and a retired professor of practice of the Texas Tech University Personal Financial Planning Department. Harold and I talked about how he hit on the bucket strategy and used it with his clients.
