I recently sold my condo and now have $150K in cash, and I don't plan on buying a home again for a long time if ever (I am single, too much $, FYI I do not live in Toronto or surrounding area). I have a non-commissioned financial advisor, and currently have a stock/bond portfolio of $200,000. I would like to invest this additional $150,000, and I will continually contribute to my nest egg. I am hoping to get ~6-7% a year, enough to give me 4% or so plus inflation. I would like to be semi-retired in 15 years at the latest (work ~1/3 of the year), at which point I might dial things back to less risky investments.
