I have never met anyone who does this. Have you?

I have 10 years in cash/short term bonds, and 40 years of expenses in stocks. It’s basically roughly a 80/20 portfolio, nothing unheard of, especially for retirees (though I’m still working).

Good for you. That's puts you in the top few % for retirement planning.
