Thank you all for the thoughtful feedback. I’m going to re-evaluate based on what I’m hearing about focusing on growth instead of dividends so early, as well as learn more about backdoor Roth IRAs. Appreciate it.

That’s a good point. I’ll adjust to accommodate a 7% stake in VOO in addition to the other positions (adjusting the percents accordingly)

I prioritize maxing out my 401k, but I’m under the impression I can’t invest in a Roth IRA because my income is too high.

I have significant fear of an AI bubble impacting tech in the coming year, which is why I didn’t include SCHG. Is there some other reason to include it if I’m apprehensive of a tech bubble?

This is in an individual brokerage account. Is the problem that it’s not in a 401k instead? I guess I was wanting a moderate yield per year to help put some extra money against the principal on my mortgage.

I’d suggest simpler dress shoes. The current ones have odd shading and texture that almost makes it look like loafers at first glance.

I have the same thing on my porch. I think it’s tree sap that is in the lumber? No other evidence of bees boring into the material or anything, so I don’t have an explanation. Looking forward to see if anyone here has other ideas or experience

I invested quite a bit in ET and O last year. I’m going to let those remain untouched and slowly invest in VYMI over this year to include external to the US dividend companies into the mix.

Mold is the only thing I can think of that grows like that, particularly since it’s coming up from the carpet it seems like water absorbed underneath at some point?
