My thought is hold TLT to maturity, which is five years earlier than I retire. Then either sell it all. Or, if rates tank back to 0, sell it all and take the cash now and reinvest in VT or BIV

You can expect TLT to be quite volatile. The general rule is that you should match duration to your needs, so you would actually want to hold it for 20 years to recover your principal. Most of us would probably choose stocks for a 20+ year time horizon.

I think BND is more reasonable. It's the default bond fund for Bogleheads. But you're already holding BIV, which is similar.

I’m curious about TLT and the Boglehead philosophy.
My understanding of TLT is that it is a pointer to where the bond market is heading. I.e., it might not be good for holding on to. Is that right?
Is TLT a worthy long term hold in my tax advantaged account in line with Bogleheas philosophy ? Currently the IRA holds 80% TLT and 20% BIV.
My 401k holds a mix of 50% BlackRock TDF and BlackRock 20/80. I’m slowly reallocating the 20/80 over into the TDF.
Is it wise to hold TLT long term for the coupon payouts?
I was also thinking about moving 95% of my emergency savings from FDLXX to VBIL and then leaving a small cash reserve in FDLXX for overdraft.
Thanks!
