VOO and VTI will likely perform identically. Just pick one of those. I prefer VTI. Adding Vgt to one of those is really just tilting towards tech which is fine if you want to do that

I have all 3, right now I’d lean more towards VTI if I were buying just because tech I think is going to continue to decline over the short term.

VTI being the most diversified seems the most stable and doesn’t drop as much as the others on the bad days, but doesn’t gain as much as the others on the good days. So that’s why I like all 3, because the big days on VOO and VGT are great.

funny

Extremely duplicative to buy all 3, but they are so broad I think it’s always a good idea to add to any of these positions for long term growth

VOO. I predominantly use Schwab’s robo advisor and have consistently been 8% below S&P 500. (1) based on the historical performance of VOO, am I better off shifting all of my retirement and brokerage accounts to VOO? (2) how do I do that? How should I go about this? Liquidate all my robo advisors and then buy VOO? Hope you all don’t roast me too hard!

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?
