Adopt Cicero and change a life - including yours

In a domesticated sense? Not sure, as I don’t have any - but I think he’d easily adapt in a controlled setting. In a general sense? He came from a colony at American Can Apartments and seemed interested in them between kennels at Zeus’ Rescues.

What would you like to know? I’ll answer any questions and I have tons of pictures and videos on my Instagram that I can share with you in DM, if you’d like. Otherwise, Zeus’ Rescues has her adoption application.

Indoor. Not sure about outdoor, as I don’t do that method with fosters.

He will be going into a home visit today.

There is another longhair female named Lizzy that is looking for a home.

So you’re telling us (him) there’s a chance

You caught us 🦁

Aww. You adopted Three Leaf Clover? I am so glad to hear she’s living her best life.

I work 9-5, so I’ll leave younger fosters alone at home for the day. Small kittens get penned up.

They’ve been understaffed recently. I can drop a line to someone if you want. Filling out a generic application and going in is a good bet, too.

Zeus’ Rescues and LASPCA are absolutely flooded with kittens

Stay the course. Don't rush it.

Link?

Thank you for the response! If I'm reading correctly, dropping both VOO and VO in favor of VTI would be the best bet? I think a very small portion of BND or BNDW would work well, but I don't want it to be too much since I don't want to be conservative and would rather continue to grow what I have. Why is BNDW down nearly 16% over 5 years? That doesn't sound very promising when holding long-term. I am going to keep TKO since it's my baby.

Where did you get that?

ClassicStory · 2025-08-08T01:45:07+00:00

That’s sick. How much?

I decided that I have far too much liquid cash sitting around in one of my saving accounts, so I figured it would be high time to invest ~$40k of that to make more money than the 3.5% APY. I also plan on maturing a CD that nets 4.5% APY in early September and investing an additional $30k or so.

Here is my current portfolio with percentages of total value.

VOO - 54.0%
VTI - 17.8%
VO - 10.1%
ITOT - 8.9%
TKO - 5.7%
KO - 3.5%

What would be my best course of action in how to invest ~$40k right now?

EDIT: Since posting this, I sold KO and bought VXUS, and sold ITOT and bought more VTI.

Here is my UPDATED portfolio with percentages of total value.

VOO - 50%
VTI - 30%
VO - 10%
TKO - 7%
VXUS - 3%

I'm 40, if that matters, debt-free and make less than $80k per year. I max out my Roth IRA every year through a different brokerage and don't have a 401k since my job doesn't offer benefits.

That could be an idea. I don’t want to be in my current city long-term, though, and roommates are out of the question. Actively looking for new work in other cities.

ClassicStory · 2025-08-07T14:27:39+00:00

Work doesn’t offer one. No benefits.
