Put Buffett's Advice Into Action With These Two ETFs
Vanguard's 1-3 year short-term government bond fund VGSH has lower expenses than SHY (.10 vs .15) and can be bought, along with VOO, in a Vanguard brokerage account for no commission.
Note that 10% of Buffett's money invested bonds would generate enough income to live on while letting the equity portion accumulate. Would investing 10% of your wealth in bonds plus other sources of income (pension,etc.) generate enough income for you to live on? Does this strategy apply to you?

Don't forget that the S&P 500 has a dividend yield of over 2%...... Need to include that in the income, along with the income from the bonds
And just graph $10k growth of SPX alone vs FPURX ytd/1/3/5/10y --- and be sure to include max, back 69y to the week I was born. I mean, seriously. And that's just FPURX.
