Do you think those target-date funds are actually good for retirement, or are they too generic? I’ve been in a 2055 fund for a while, and I love how effortless it is. There are no rebalancing and no stress. Still, part of me wonders if I could do better by customizing my allocation. I’m curious how other people handle this balance.

I do both. I probably leave about 50% of my 401(k) in the target date funds and try my luck at allocating the other half across other various funds, some which are a bit riskier.

That makes sense. It sounds like you’ve found a mix that gives you some peace of mind while still leaving room for growth. Net positive is always a good sign! I might try allocating a portion myself to see how it goes.

I think they’re pretty good. They’re a little too conservative for my taste though. I’m very young and can afford to be more bearish with my investments.

Bullish

I have $30 remaining in my technology subsidy. Can I use it to pay part of a purchase of an earphone set worth $200

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
