I know the outcome will be lower and stable, but I won't have to deal with the daily ups and downs.
I'm familiar with the 60/40 rule but wonder if I should go 0/100.

If your non-investment income covers all the bills, why are you even considering doing this? Leave it alone. How many times have we seen the market go through ups and downs? Stop worrying. Turn off the Bloomberg channel. The market will come back. Always has, always will. And the biggest losers will be those that went to fixed income for a little "peace of mind".
