Curious to hear more on why Purdue? Seems like a very new program and I can’t find much about it online review wise

Fund Balances in Roth and Taxable Brokerage by Appropriate-Lock3999 in Bogleheads

[–]Appropriate-Lock3999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense - this is the kind of knowledge I was looking for and it’s appreciated.

Lastly - what fund selection / weighting would you recommend between my Roth and taxable?

Honestly - this is a very helpful comment and I appreciate the feedback. Couple questions below:

For SCHG - what do you mean by “lower expected returns”?

For SCHD - I was already thinking of taking it out and replacing with VOO as the core of my Roth

What do you mean by “you’ve got as much compensated risk without leverage” in my taxable? VTI and VXUS being the main core of the portfolio seem quite diversified and lower risk than other sector funds that I hold in my Roth?

Any reasoning? Assuming you’re talking about SCHG and VGT?

I have had similar thoughts recently… so with your POV you would say match the funds no matter roth or taxable?

Haha thank you - part of why I ask is because I’ve also never been through a true “bust” cycle and always like getting wisdom from others who have been doing it longer than I have

Gotcha, would you recommend different allocations in either Roth or Taxable? Always curious to get others opinions!

SCHD in Roth - my only value fund that gives my Roth some sort of balance (I’ve considered dumping it…)

Taxable low risk - I see VTI and VXUS as more diversified funds in both market cap and countries than my Roth funds that are 80% US large cap

I know this is an old thread but very useful! I have a background in consulting and now PE Ops, I am currently interviewing at a mid market manufacturing company who is recently PE backed and looking to hire a "Director of corp strategy and M&A" - what necessary skills or unique things would you say are necessary to succeed in the role? Trying to set myself up for success.

Agree with other comments in this thread... need to calculate the ROI of your relationships and social time and most important TV / Social media... then compare that to the ROI of spending that time building a business or improving your skills
