Does the following strategy make sense: max out back door Roth IRA: 70% FZROX / 20% FTIHX / 10% FXNAX and taxable brokerage: DCA into VOO (or should I do FXIAX since I’m with Fidelity)? I know I should add more ETFs (ARK, QQQ, etc.) to brokerage but want to start off slow

I think the Roth is fine. I am a bit rusty on fund names is fxnax bonds? If so decide if you want them there or a traditional Ira/401k if you have space there. If you want sp 500 in taxable I prefer an etf over mutual fund in taxable. VOO is fine, I use IVV the ishares version.

Yeah both have 0.03 as expense ratio

Allocate 80% into ETF that tracks total US equities, 15% into ETF that tracks international equities, and 5% into bond ETF. Im more aggressive though, so you have to assess your risk tolerance and sensitivity to short term volatility. Personal opinion: invest the money and leave it for 10+ years

IXUS or vxus for international and pick and bond etf that suits you needs. Do you want all treasury or all high yield (junk bonds)?

My fiancé and I (ages 30 and 31) are about to buy a house. We would put down 10% for a 835k purchase price. Our combined income is $265k. We both have around 7-10k left in emergency funds (each) and combined about 200k for retirement. Our mortgage is $4,500 a month and we split a car payment for $800. Is this an okay financial decision or should we have bought a cheaper house/saved more?
