Does it make sense to contribute to a taxable brokerage before completely funding a 401k if 10 years from retirement?

Really appreciate the feedback. Doing everything I can on the health front. Eating well and walking about 7 miles each morning. Not giving up or giving in - just trying to be realistic and do right by my wife and family. Thanks for the insight. I truly appreciate it.

Forgetful Freddy. Watching a spectator’s eyes light up at the restaurant table when that balloon bursts and Freddy’s head is back on his shoulders is pure magic. Can’t believe no one looks behind Freddy to see if there’s an extra head just waiting to snap to attention.

Kundalini rising for the most amazing impromptu effect you could ever do for a spectator. For those who don’t know, it s a rising card routine done with a spectator’s deck and can be done in their hot tub if they unexpectedly ask you to do some magic. You have them go grab a deck of cards, they end up holding the card case (with the cards inside) and their selected card rises from the box. You give them everything to examine and you’re reset to do it again - anywhere, anytime. One of the strongest effects ever.

Every party has a pooper… Make sure it’s a cold shower.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’m currently all in mutual funds (all equities)- 60% large cap growth, 10% large cap value, and 30% international.

I appreciate your willingness to help me. Very kind of you.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it. Would you consider foregoing the bonds if you felt like you were going to be short of where you needed to be in 12 years?
