Hi! Started Fidelity 401k very recently and opted for Vanguard2055 with asset class (Stocks 88%, Bonds 10% , others 2%). Expense ratio is 0.15% . Want to know if allocations are okay or any pointers to look into. I’m 29, new to investing, 15% salary goes to 401k. TIA

To lower your expense ratio, and if low cost index funds are available in the plan, craft your own asset allocation by mimicking the 2055 fund allocation (can increase stock % since you likely have 30+ years in the market). Expense ratio can really eat away from your investments in the long run

Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
