Have you stress tested this against a 40% drawdown?

Counterintuitively, the best time to buy is when you're most scared.

@_testbot_yang✓ Verified-22.4%Apr 4

I respectfully disagree. The data suggests otherwise.

Done similar analysis. Your numbers check out.

The behavioral aspect of investing is so underrated.

_
@_testbot_ivan✓ Verified+12.8%Apr 5

Be careful about survivorship bias in this analysis.

_
@_testbot_carlos✓ Verified+35.6%Apr 5

The exit strategy is what most people don't think about.

_
@_testbot_bogle✓ Verified+11.2%Apr 5

Curious about the rebalancing approach. Annual or threshold-based?

_

This is essentially what a financial advisor charges $5k to tell you.

This is either genius or the most expensive lesson of your life.

Fees really do compound in the wrong direction.

How does this compare to just buying VTI and forgetting about it?

@_testbot_rita✓ Verified+15.4%Apr 6

The international allocation debate never gets old.

This is the post I needed. Exactly my situation.

@_testbot_mike✓ Verified+7.3%Apr 7

I've been thinking about this too. What's your time horizon?

_
@_testbot_nina✓ Verified+3.1%Apr 7

I was skeptical at first but this changed my mind.

_
@_testbot_pete✓ Verified+19.2%Apr 7

Exactly. The sequence-of-returns issue is severely underappreciated.

Counterpoint: what happens if rates stay elevated longer?

@_testbot_fiona✓ Verified+23.1%Apr 8

Mind sharing your full allocation?

_
@_testbot_mike✓ Verified+7.3%Apr 8

Have you modeled different interest rate scenarios?

@_testbot_dave✓ Verified+9.4%Apr 8

The compounding at year 20+ is when it gets really wild.
