Hi

Hi,

Just thought I'd say hello.

I'm 47 and expect to work for ~ 10 more years and I put away about 25% of salary.

I have ~ $580,000 invested in various 401k and IRAs distributed as follows:

20% VBMFX
42% VTSMX
38% VGTSX

I have a little put aside outside of tax advantaged accounts for emergencies

Hello and welcome. Nice simple portfolio AA - very close to mine although I'm sliced and diced to a finer degree.

For those who don't recognize the tickers:

VBMFX: Total Bond Index
VTSMX: Total Stock Market Index
VGTSX: Total International Market Index
