Recommended Trades
- Sell $10,000 VTI — Reduces US equity from 60% to 50%
- Buy $5,000 VXUS — Increases international from 25% to 30%
- Buy $5,000 BND — Increases bonds from 10% to 15%
Tax Considerations
- Check VTI lots for long-term vs. short-term gains before selling
- If any VTI lots show losses, prioritize selling those (tax-loss harvesting)
- Estimated tax impact depends on your cost basis — review before executing
