Portfolio: 45% VTI, 20% VXUS, 15% BND, 10% individual stocks (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA), 10% alternatives. 34 years old. $320k invested. Planning to retire at 57. Am I on track?
Combined our finances — sharing the joint portfolio
Year-end changes: eliminated all individual stocks (was 25% of portfolio). Too much tracking for minimal benefit. New allocation is pure 3-fund. Simpler, cheaper, better.

High income, low NW: making $380k/year, net worth only $180k at 38. Lifestyle inflation destroyed the last decade. Now max every account, live on $90k, invest the rest.
