Alright, one *could* invest in bonds. One might want to do this throughout
one's earning years and retirement in the case where it's desired to leave
a
legacy. But let's suppose you're Tim and Cindie Travis
http://www.downtheroad.org/
. You don't have any kids to leave a legacy
to.
But (let's imagine) you do have 401k's sitting there from prior to your
commitment to your rambling life style. Is there a way to buy a mix of
annuities (which return the principal to you as income as well) that are
hedged against currency imbalances over future years?
