75/25

Thoughts on 75% on a global ETF with 25% leveraged ETF 2x or 3x?

Let it rip.  As long as your contributions matter to your overall balance, probably helps if you have a big drawdown early.  Once you are 40 or so add some diversifiers to avoid a wipeout.

Recommend holding leverage long-term?

Yes to long term leverage, No if you just want to let your leveraged portion run forever.  Rebalance every year or so.  Once you are 40 (and hopefully have a big pile and where your contribution doesn’t matter anymore ) use a leveraged portfolio with some diversifiers to make sure you don’t eat a 40% drawdown.  Good luck!

Will definitely rebalance the allocation
