I have very little experience investing in after tax accounts. I am planning to start putting at least $1000/mo into a Vanguard taxable account and have a couple questions. I want to keep it fairly simple. I will probably invest 80 or 90% in VOO or VTI(equities) and the rest in BND(bonds). I can switch back and forth between VOO and VTI without any penalties because they are not identical funds, correct? What fund is most similar to BND that I could switch to for bonds? Any dividends or LT capital gains are not taxed unless they put me above the 12% tax bracket, right? So I could just contribute enough to my 401K to keep me under $51,000(single)? Any tips? Thanks
