A1 I do but I wanted to clarify the account differences.

Mine is pretty skewed by buying a mcmansion out of foreclosure at age 23 that we still live in and has roughly doubled in value. We've also had some significant medical costs (including but not limited to kids) that have keep us from investing more beyond retirement assets but hopefully that is if the rear view mirror.

Ira/HSA investments/529/401k/pension - 50%
Home equity 40%
Cash, HSA cash, & investments 10%

Home equity 20%
Retirement 55%
Kids' 529 plans 5%
Cash 5%
Other tangible personal property 15%

Home Equity: 20-25%
Other Real-Estate: 15-20%
Stocks: 40-45%
529 Plans: 5-10%
Cash: 5-10%

95% stocks 🙄

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding.
