Now retired I can live with anything from 20% in stocks to 70%. Most of the time around 50%.

Makes sense to me. As I recall, one of the later pieces of advice from Ben Graham was to always have between 25% and 75% in equities, and I wouldn't want to argue with him.

Given the current yields on stocks and bonds, the 25-50% area seems clearly more appropriate than the 75% end. It does to me, anyway.
