I'm an Australian and I am dipping my toes in the water with a lazy ETF portfolio. I get that I might sound stupid but a childhood being told by my left-wing dad that investing is for rich people has delayed my education in it. I have 50% invested in VAS (Australia), 20% in VGB (Bonds), and 30% in VGS (International). I feel like Australia is about to realise that the "government" has run our economy into the ground to make a quick buck and the only thing keeping it afloat is the housing market which will die when China gets spooked and withdraws its money from the economy. Given that, should I adjust my portfolio to be more international? Or does that go against the idea of being passive? Since I'm doing this long-term, does it not matter?
