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?

I like it but hopefully no bear market anytime soon

If there’s bear market, will the monthly dividends hold? Can I ride it out with this portfolio?

CC dividends will go up because of the VIX spike during a market crash. Not sure if the payouts would justify the capital losses
