Personally, at age 33, I would skip bonds and stay 100% in equities, but that's just me.
Did you own equities during the crash of 2007-09? If so, did you hang in (not sell)? Only asking because that would be a gauge of your risk tolerance (how strong your stomach is, so to speak...). Could you stomach a 50% drop and ride it?
I thought about doing that, but all the popular opinions out there from people far smarter than I am, suggest that diversification is the way to go. At the moment, I would be perfectly fine sticking to stocks, but who knows how I would react when the inevitable slump happens.
On that note, I was not invested in the stock market during the recession. I didn't have a job at the time, I still in school, and I honestly did not pay a whole lot of attention to the stock market.
In general, I am a conservative person, and not much of a risk taker. That does not mean I can't persist during tough times, but I don't intentionally seek risk in search for big returns.
Therefore, I felt like 90% stocks and 10% bonds at my age, and for my personality is the way to go. Please feel free to let me know if I made a mistake in my analysis.
Thanks.
