Total Bond was 20% at one time during accumulation. About 3 years ago I exchanged half of Total Bond for Wellesley.

"Question is what reasons do you have for not taking on term risk at this point? Bonds look attractively priced."

RMD's begin in 2025 so that reality is driving my decision-making about duration. I have two RMD's planned out from above allocation, and will think about the next three. I should have a five-year plan for RMD withdrawals pretty soon. Just need to dedicate more research and thinking time to that.
