Then you have the wrong investments... CDs, savings and short to mid term treasuries just don't make it in today's economic world. You need to take some risk and not be afraid that the world is coming to an end.
If you can't stand the risk then buy some sort of annuity with guaranteed payouts. An annuity has to out perform short term interest baring instruments. Just remember that the company you buy the annuity can go belly up also....
To be able to live in TV we all had to do something right. IMHO making vast changes to you investment habits in retirement is a recipe for disaster.
