I retired 8 years ago at 47, been as high as 80% stocks, now at 55% comprised of ETFs, individual stocks, and mutual funds. Roughly 20% in commercial RE and rest in cash, CD's and different types of bonds.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on your first 8 years and anything you have learned, done differently, etc. since retiring as far as investments go? Its one of those things that everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face and do it. You are likely a little more flexible with a wife still working though.

Never.
Plan on building a large enough dividend growth portfolio so that I'm getting paid by the companies that I've bought shares in. In addition to that, the money I'm getting paid will be increasing by 4-8% yearly. I'd like to set a solid foundation for my children and children's children for decades to come.

Really depends on your cash flow and your needs. Try to figure out your income and expenses in retirement and have someone run a Monte Carlo for you.

My parents are in their 70’s and still 100% stocks. No bonds at all.
