Then the TIPS (or Inflation-Protected MUNI's) take away the one factor (besides mismanagement of your spending) that can eat away at your retirement 'salary': inflation! @ Trainee – The one time that they MIGHT make sense is when you have ‘just enough’ capital to fund your current annual retirement expense at (say) a couple of percent interest rate (which is what TIPS tend to average out to).

The only time I would invest in bonds is if was expecting a meaningful decline in interest rates. Even then a market when interest rates are falling is likely to provide even better opportunities in equities and real estate.

I've had to talk a handful of close friends (recent graduates) out of the CD "investing" route. It is amazing how many people think CDs and bonds are part of the path to wealth at a young age.
