I am planning on early retirement in about 4-7 years (I'm 49 now). Most of my investments are in my company's 401K. I currently have it split in mostly Vanguard mutual funds as 23% large cap, 12% mid cap, 10% small cap, 15% international, 30% bond funds and 10% money market, mostly index funds.
I'm wondering about the money market and am considering moving that into the other funds. Right now, the money market is losing money when I consider inflation and since it's in a 401K I can't really us it for emergencies. It's just sitting there glaring at me.
I was thinking of moving the money market to the inflation protected fund - VIPSX. Another possibility is to add a percent to the stock funds and six percent to the bond funds. Or just two percent more to all of them.
Thoughts?
Thanks a lot and I can't wait to FIRE. God I'm bored.
