The glide path shown here [1] seems to advise being ~90% in cash at age 61 and then ramping up risk until you're ~90% in equities by age 86. What's the logic behind that? [1] https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max&#x2

1-based for statistics is a STRONG reason to use it. 0 based is ridiculous for a statistics program Could you elaborate on that? What about statistics do you feel makes it necessary to have 1-based indexing?
