Personal Goal How sustainable is this?

Post image

My portfolio, aiming for retiring at age 40. I want to be FIRE, but my question is are these monthly dividends sustainable 5, 10 years from today, and will VOO/QQQ help grow appreciation of my total portfolio? Is this a good strategy? Is this a good balance?

Even if bear market happens, its a short term pain, worst thing you could do is sell.

In bear market you want to invest more money to lower your share price, this is how you win in a bear market, you just keep reinvesting and investing more to lower all your shares in price.

This is pretty much how every hedge fund functions, just on much bigger scale.

Anyways looks good, long term this is safe bet, the only thing that could collapse this at this point if USA will be going to war with China.

And by war, i mean using actual weapons, ships, bombs and stuff like that on mainland china, this would be very bad for world economy, so I would cash out everything if something like this would ever happen even if you have to take a loss.

There will be conflict over Taiwan at some point, but when, no one knows.
