Aren’t those three funds overlapping? Seems like overkill to me.

Vtsax is total stock market so it does cover everything but not in the same proportions as the other funds so performance would be slightly different. Or at least that’s my understanding.
This money would be NOT be going into a tax advantaged account. I’m already maxing out my contributions into a target year fund for my tax advantaged accounts

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
