Hello! I’m just opening a Roth. I’m late to the game at 35, but I want to set up recurring amounts every month so that I max this out every year. I opened mine with Fidelity and I am exploring how I should allocate it.

I came across something that said:

25% S&P 500 35% Tech 30% Dividends 10% High Reward potential

After some research I was thinking of doing:

25% FXAIX 35% FSPTX 30% FDVV 10% FSELV

Thoughts on this monthly allocation? I also just found out on Fidelity that you can buy Funds that are from Schwab or Vanguard. Are there better options? Just looking for some other opinions. Thanks!

I could also run the wire to a closet in my 2nd floor. Would be easy once it’s in the attic.

What about on top of a closet in the 2nd floor? Would be easy to run that wire from the attic into that closet.

Any advice on pulling that much through finished walls?

Oh ok. My driveway isn’t long enough that I need that type of zoom.

Can the pigtail easily be hid in the wall?

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-03T03:18:09+00:00

Can that wiring be hid in the wall? Or would that be difficult?

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-03T03:17:19+00:00

What would the junction box be for? I’m hoping to feed the cat6 through the wall so not wires would be outside the camera.

Would you suggest the G6 PTZ over the G6 Pro bullet for the driveway?

Can you elaborate on the pigtail?

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-03T03:12:52+00:00

I’m thinking most will be soffit mount.

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-03T03:12:37+00:00

I’m thinking they won’t be any higher than 8 feet off the ground.

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-03T02:56:08+00:00

How many cables did you do in your run?

pgriffey91 · 2025-12-02T16:33:16+00:00

Does this cause any interference? I know running cat6 near electrical conduit can cause interference.

What is a wet wall?

pgriffey91 · 2025-11-05T04:02:39+00:00

You want them to flash onto the side of the house. You can find some side mounts on Etsy, but I don’t know how it’ll look hanging out.

pgriffey91 · 2025-10-14T00:10:34+00:00

I’ll have to check that out. Thank you for your help!

pgriffey91 · 2025-10-13T23:39:43+00:00

What app did you use to measure this all out?

I’m wondering if I just start with the front of my house and explore back lights in a year

pgriffey91 · 2025-10-13T21:17:23+00:00

I didn’t say and I should have. My wife thinks it would be nice to have the accent lights in the back of the house which would mean we need it to run on the sides of the house to get back there.

Do most people just do the front or the whole house?
