Bonds In the Mix
I kept up with my 50% savings rate and managed to squirrel away 5k to my Vanguard accounts again, to which I have added a Global Bond Index fund to help round out and balance my portfolio. I am yet to know for sure what my portfolio will look like in terms of asset allocation and percentages, but getting some bonds into the mix feels right.
I will work on making my idea percentage breakdown on paper and endeavor to refer to it and adjust as one sector performs better than another.
