Time to delurk... hi everybody!
I’m a European forty-something civil servant, planning to ER in less than three years and live off my portfolio indefinitely. Indefinitely because I'm trying not to count on getting a pension (though I'm hoping to get one when I reach the required age) and because I’m firmly opposed to dying. Hey, they say optimists live longer...
My problem is that I'm having a hard time deciding how to invest. Due to my indecision I was 100% cash during the 2008 debacle (a good thing) and I still am (maybe not such a good thing).
I’m spending my nights absorbing wisdom at bogleheads.org. However, most information there (and elsewhere) is US-centric and Vanguard Europe's funds aren't available to retail customers in my country. So it's not easy.
