Investing - Theory, News & General • Static vs Dynamic Asset Allocation; Victor Meets the Boglehead

In a broader sense I don’t really understand your complaint about lumpy expenses. Folks always throw this out as a slam dunk against TIPS ladders, LMP, etc. But I’ve never seen, not a single time, someone say their income from working is somehow risky because their expenses are sometimes lumpy.

Are the two situations parallels? Often it's possible to borrow against an income stream from working. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank comes to mind for an example of asset duration potentially exceeding an elastic investment horizon, liquidity constraints, or systematically undervaluing liquidity. I'm not exactly following why working and asset selection amount to consistent examples.
