just saw some comments about not investing in VT in taxable accounts which is concerning bc I have less than half of my Roth and brokerage in VT (also; slightly more than half in VTI, & one of the accounts has a bit of VOO).
My next goal is to max my Roth and focus on investing in VTI and stop VT so that it’ll balance out over time. Maybe add VXUS?

1) Thoughts on investing in VXUS for Roth?
2) Also, did I do something wrong with my current allocation? Any feedback? (Newbie here!)

Thanks!!

Just invest in VT in everything if you want to simplify things.

Don't do VTI/VXUS UNLESS you don't agree with the split that VT has (approximately 63 US/37 international), or if you want the foreign tax credit (which honestly is not much. It's like 0.02% of your aggregated amount in VTI/VXUS). Keep in mind that the foreign tax credit is a credit, not a deduction, so it subtracts from your liabilities, not your taxable income.

Not sure what you really are trying to do. Investing in VXUS is perfectly fine in a Roth IRA. If you are asking if you did something wrong by putting VT in a taxable account, I don’t think it is wrong but you don’t get a foreign tax credit that you would with VXUS

Yes it definitely is, in all 3 of my accounts that hold VT. It’s actually sad to look at lol. Given the tax parts I’ll consider finding a financial advisor to get advice from, realizing the loss, and sticking with 80% VTI/20% VXUS. Thank you so much for your insight
