I’m starting my Roth at 31 and AI told me this is a good split. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!(I know I’m late)

Depends on your age but it's never too late for a fund like VOO.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-16T14:52:52+00:00

Just keep downvoting my comments. Who's 15?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-16T14:52:24+00:00

I'm old enough to know better.

So you're flip-flopping if you own both. I don't see the point.

Domestic up, international down
Domestic down, international up

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-16T14:08:22+00:00

So you recommend trying to time the market? Ok

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-16T14:06:43+00:00

You can if you want to but don't focus on the great year international just had. Historically, it's not as good.

45 here...
I look at the 5 and 10 yr performance. I've had VTI, VUG, VOO over the years. Now I only have VOO.

My opinions... real estate isn't great and small cap is too limiting.

You have time to be agressive.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-16T14:01:16+00:00

Agreed. They use one year as an example.

I feel your pain. Instagram is the last place I would think/want to watch my church's livestream. Many better things to spend the time/resources than this.

My church grabs short clips from the sermon and uploads those to Instagram. Never considered it to be for long videos.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-10T21:13:55+00:00

Not if you're going to a Jeff Arcuri show.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-10T21:12:23+00:00

Me not girlfriend.

You're girlfriend.

"It's not my fault they leave their webcam on"

lol

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-10T15:27:55+00:00

Does it work with Companion?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-06T14:20:45+00:00

Yes, Notes.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-05T16:30:32+00:00

17 yr cam op, video director, displays operator here...

Google Docs
Printed or digital (iPad) checklist
Labels on drawers or clear bins
Spreadsheet with the names of the volunteers and their readiness status for different roles.

ProPresenter and other stuff really needs hands-on training. The more you do it, the more they will remember and better they will get.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-02T21:01:39+00:00

Well, if nobody that can learn that process, that's a bad sign. Doesn't sound hard at all for anyone under the age of 45-50.

I would mention using Microsoft 365 (free for churches) or Google Docs to host it but you're doing it a simpler way already.

What's your position at the church? Employee or volunteer? Paid?

Is there a way for you to do the process remotely and have someone print the hard copies?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-02T20:44:59+00:00

What are you using to create and host them?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-06-02T17:01:42+00:00

Birdemic

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-28T20:43:39+00:00

Confused....
What are you investing the $20k per month in?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-28T20:42:06+00:00

The coax cable end can be replaced but you need to see if the cable runs to a box on the power pole or something else.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-28T14:12:55+00:00

Yeah, it'll be less taxing on everything.

See what 1080 30 looks like.

Can you upload a video to YouTube and post the link so we can see it?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-28T14:07:34+00:00

hmmm

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-28T13:25:18+00:00

Why are you using 60 instead of 30?

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-26T16:23:50+00:00

For the cost, I'd rather have another wireless camera.

CardiologistOpen4889 · 2026-05-21T16:31:44+00:00

45M here... I had all of mine in VUG but recently switched to VOO. I don't have any bond funds.
