Alex, I wish you would've started this in the investing section because I think this is a very important topic to discuss. I really value your and BHN's input since you are living it. But, c'est la vie.
I stand by what I said in the thread Kerim referred to. I'll adjust as necessary but I don't think I'll need a large income stream in retirement. Many of the things I want to do when retired take time (something I never seem to have enough of) rather than money. That being said, I do believe I'll adjust some of my holdings to higher yield, slower growth companies as I approach retirement but so far my income stream is on track with my estimates. I've got about 10 years to figure it out.

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
