FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

Hi everyone, this is my first question. Thanks for creating such an awesome community! Quick background - Couple in early 40s, PPOR paid off. - Super on track to cover expenses from age 60. - Recently stopped salary sacrificing into super to focus on building investments outside of super. - Currently have $300k invested in VGS, aiming to grow this to $900k over the next six years, then FIRE and spend it down until preservation age. Questions - Our risk mitigation for market downturns (besides a 2-year emergency fund) is to continue or return to work if needed. This is why we're all in VGS. Is this a wise strategy, or should we consider adding bonds? - If we add bonds, should we build up the allocation gradually or rebalance closer to FIRE? - Is there merit in adding VAS? My partner believes it’s good for diversification, but I argue we’re already exposed to Australia through our PPOR, jobs, and super allocation. - Once we stop working entirely, what’s a good portfolio allocation? Would 60% bonds and 40% stocks be appropriate? Thanks in advance for your advice!
