We have to have the talk about "the merger" and creating a unified plan. When we get married, I will probably take both view of both my finances, her finances, and the combined finances. The Alternative Income and Net Worth that you see in the top left column will probably have to be moved to it's own page as it gets more complex. I'm probably a bit naive to think this, but I don't see my future wife getting deployed like most people think. She's currently more of a researcher and surveyor right now, training for management level position. Typically if there is a deployment, it's for hurricane relief, but even though she's volunteered a couple of times for it, they've denied her requests all but one time. And that time, things were mostly in order by the time they got her there. This is currently just my money and goals. We have to have the talk about “the merger” and creating a unified plan.

Or is this strictly your money? if your wife is deployed don't forget SDP and maxing $45k in TSP. how will your goal change when you get married? are you including your future wife’s income and investments into your plan?

I was looking at the pie chart on my Ameritrade account and tried to make a rough judgement There are two equal big pieces worth around 60% and the other three make up the remaining 40%. So it looks like those last three might be closer to 13.3% each. The 120% is actually the secret to my success :-).

I’ve got VTI & EFA in my Roth as well. It’s not clear from your post what the actual allocation is though. It seems to suggest 30%VB, 30%VTI, 20ďA, 20%XLK, 20%VHT — which works out to an impossible 120%. What gives?
