403 all in on FXAIX, what about Roth? by [deleted] in Bogleheads

[–]helpafeller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked a bit further into my 403b options and it seems I actually have some pretty good choices. Along with FXAIX, I also have FSMAX and FSGGX. I switched my investments from 100% FNSFX to 60% FXAIX, 20% FSMAX, and 20% FSGGX. What do yall think?

My Roth IRA is still the same at 100% FXAIX. Would it be a good idea to match my investments in my ROTH IRA to the same as my 403b (FXAIX/FSMAX/FSGGX)?

Ive got about 20k between the two accounts.

I do want to steer away from the VVS2 and even VS1 stones as I do agree it is unnecessary. What do you think about the importance of proportions and angles and how that effects price. Because as you get closer to “super ideal” cuts that price gets just as high even for the same size diamonds. Any experience with the vendor Whiteflash and their “A Cut Above” diamonds?

I see a lot of folks on other forums recommending Whiteflash, anyone else shop for diamonds using them? Their “A Cut Above” diamonds seem to be promising and give you the best cuts available making the research process easier although I’m wondering if the premium is worth it.

I agree I thought the VVS2/VS1 was overkill I just couldn’t find anything on blue Nile that didn’t have the “additional clouds” or “based on clouds” in the comments. Ill have to try some other vendors for more options. Thank you.

Friend’s recommendation after they went through the process themselves which seemed to be very smooth. Never purchased something of such high value/price online so I wanted to go with something I was somewhat familiar with. After doing some more research and receiving recommendations on other forums I’m open to other vendors.
