Honestly I would talk to an advisor. I’m assuming you’re older given you have solid savings and sounds like married and a bit risk averse. Nothing wrong w any of that but there’s a lot more to consider... goals / expenses / taxes etc.. it’s easy to tell a 22y old kid to put it all in VTI but you may need more in depth advice that an estate planner could help with
Thanks @GS1! You guessed it all right. Any particular estate planner you would recommend? Haven’t consulted one before.
Hard flex 🥵
Majority of mine are in S&P, VTI, QQQ. I split my allocations where equities are 50%, real estate is the other 50%. Btw crazy amounts you have there!

I think you are heavy cash, I would slowly move it to a more aggressive allocation if you are under 40 - I am 37 and this is my split - my emergency fund isn’t in this - 90% of this money is in tax deferred items - if you have time, I would get a little more aggressive even if you put it into more value oriented equities.

I have 6 months of take home pay - I have most of the above in 401K, Roth IRA, HSA and 529 plans
For value oriented - I would look at mutual funds or etf that has large cap value, mid cap value, or small cap value in their investment style - or do what many will suggest and just put it in Vti or Voo
.. as The Big Short guy says that index funds might be a bubble. This may or may not be true but definitely scares me to put all our life savings into it. We don’t have any real estate investments or assets outside this portfolio. Any thoughts on best way to put the cash to work? Any other tips on allocation (after removing cash, it’s roughly 10% bonds, 10% international stock and 80% VTI).
People have been saying the index fund bubble thing since the 80s. They still represent a small portion of the total market.
I think it’s just a tactic by active managers to invest in them
Index funds are presumably in a bubble as they are 14% of American stock market (double from 2010) so if they crash, stock market crashes.
Secondly there is presumably a bond bubble as well, as bonds are overpriced and interest rates low. If that crashes, everything including stock market and real estate will crash.
Since Glass–Steagall Act was repealed and now the banks can invest our money in the stock market (and even in startups in the future) and FDIC is underfunded, we don’t really have any place to put our cash to work risk free unless you stash it at home (risk from thieves tho)
Can’t predict a bubble, dont time the market
May I ask how old are you? And what platform is that?
That looks like personal capital
You are extremely cash / bond heavy unless you have some near-term large expense
Hey guys this is combined for me and my husband. And we are in our late 30s.

Btw, what app is this. Looks cool
Pro
Yeah - I love it - every once and a while they drop a few sales emails and try to call - but otherwise it’s a great app
