For some one heading into (or at) FIRE, why not just put all your $ in Wellington admiral shares? It's slightly above a 60/40 that a person would need to rebalance anyway, no fuss, and could last longer than the SWR of 30 years...I'm about 50 and looking to FIRE within the next 2 years fyi.
Also, I've been considering investing 50k in passive turn key real estate, maybe 2 properties... after all expenses $2-250/mo. but Wellington has returned 7% over the past 10 years...so what's the benefit even if I were to manage a 7% return in passive real estate over 10 yrs vs just hanging out in Wellington and not having to deal with any annoyance (besides regular market dips)?
