ER is coming closer and closer for me and eventually I'll be without that regular employment check. I've done something to replace it as I get a rental check of $1200/month form an apartment I own, but my portfolio is probably not well arranged for the new phase that I'm approaching.
I have a eighteen month's cash in my checking account and the rest of my AA is 50/50 between equities and high quality intermediate bonds.....lots of Wellesley, Total Stock Market, Total International, and Total Bond Market type funds spread across a couple of low cost providers. I do have a small deferred annuity as well, but I'm just wondering if I really need something in CDs or shorter term bonds given that I have almost 50% of my income needs covered by the rent I get.
