Also 4% isn't a universal thing; time horizon matters. For those planning 50+ years of FIRE, a 3.5% SWR (ish), with higher allocation to equities...
Has anyone done analysis on the point at which a SMSF makes more sense financially over a retail fund? Is the determinant of this tipping point...
If we zoom out and compare with all asset classes, what is the bullish argument for BTC over a say a 10y+ horizon? I've always assumed that the...

Similar experience for me with a 2/1/1 in Moonee Ponds bought in 2014. Bought 460, current val 630(ish). Really great area for...
