I agree with you on no load mutual funds, but I have ALL my money there. Your 40/40/20 split is standard wealth management advice that maximizes income—for wealth managers. If I’d followed that advice over the years, I wouldn’t have been able to afford moving to The Villages and living in a house with no mortgage. My money has gone up much faster in mutual funds than it would have in bonds.
