US Broad mkt 60%
US bonds 10%
Int’l Equity 20%
REIT 10%

Step 1: 100% allocation to Jan 2020 Disney Calls
Step 2: Profit and quit job

one other thing I wanted to add - don't hold REITs or other income producing security in your taxable account. place those in IRA for tax advantaged growth

Totally agree with this assessment of Disney.
As to the portfolio, at your age, I'd knock the bonds to 5% or 0% (I'd the later). You're very young and have years to recover from anything. As for REIT, I know you're going for an ETF, but take a look at adding some ARI in. I've had it since 2011. It's been fantastic. Don't go all in, but I'd add a little. My 2 cents. Good luck.

Good advice, thanks! I wanted to knock down the bonds but everything I read has a sound allocation % for them. As for ARI, I have a few shares of LXP that I thought would be better served if I sold them and converted to an ETF. Perhaps I’ll hold a few back just for the dividend?

Why Disney calls ?

Disney+ actual numbers for subscribers will be out by then. Post Q4 earnings. They’re down now, figure they can rebound. Could just buy shares now too but I’m going for a big swing

Invest in a healthcare ETF too. The Vanguard one has like a 15% return

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.
