We have our portfolios at Fidelity (TIRA and ROTH IRA) and Vanguard (Aftertax). I am managing our income to a level for an ACA Healthcare subsidy. I have some extra headroom between our income thus far this year and our subsidy limit. This headroom will be split between doing some ROTH conversions (in the Fido account) and replenishing our short term cash account for our living expenses going into 2022 (from the Vanguard account).
We are both retired (61/59), not drawing pensions until 65 and SS until 70.
Current asset allocation is 58/40/2 (Stocks/Bonds/Short term).
The funds in Vanguard that I would tap (for lowest LTCG in my account) are:
VBTLX - Total Bond Market Index;
VBLAX - Long Term Bond Index;
VWIAX - Wellesley
My question - which one should I tap first? Take some from all three? Exhaust one, then go to the next?
