I have 2 related suggestions:
1. Postpone taking Social Security until age 70. Fund retirement years prior to that with whatever mix works for you, including working. This exposes you to higher sequence risk in the early years, but increases each SS check by ~32% over starting at age 66 for the rest of your life. That increase reduces withdrawal & future sequence risks substantially.
2. Sell high. For example, if you do wait until age 70 for SS, you'll probably need some money. If you have a highly appreciated position in a traditional IRA, subject to your highest level of income tax, sell some of it anyway. Better to take some off the table & pay the higher tax rate than sell a position in a taxable account which hasn't appreciated. This method also reduces withdrawal & sequence risks by raising cash when a high valuation is available instead of selling when cash is needed.
