Right now about 25% of my Roth IRA is in a target date fund and the rest is in VT. I might sell the TDF and just go full on VT, it’s had much better returns

Not a bad idea. If you’re in your early 20’s (i.e. Vanguard 2070), that’s 8.2% of bonds you could easily swap out for the market

Napkin math. 10yr CAGR VT (Market): 11.16% 10yr CGAR VTBIX (Bonds): 1.7% 100% VT = 11.16% 91.8% VT & 8.2% VTBIX = 10.38%

Nice 0.78% bump in a theoretical year. Even more in 2025, since VT rn is much higher (14.79% YTD)
