Hi,

I’m planning out my 2026 savings/investing strategy and would love feedback on whether this allocation makes sense or if I should rebalance.

For context:

Both Roth IRAs are already maxed separately (not included below).

I’m aiming for long-term growth, tax efficiency, and some liquidity.

Employer retirement accounts include a mix of Traditional and Roth with matches (2 jobs)

Here is the percentage-only breakdown of my current plan: (50k to play with with 30 years of investment left at a current 22% bracket)

Account Type % Distribution

Employee 401(k) – Traditional 17%

Employee 401(k) – Roth 5%

Employee 403(b) – Traditional 17%

Employee 403(b) – Roth 5%

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

(10% discount sell immediately

add to next year ROTH IRA) 33%

High-Yield Savings Account. 5%

Taxable Brokerage Account 17%

Total: 100%

My main questions:

Should I shift more toward brokerage or retirement accounts?

Would you rebalance Traditional vs Roth differently?

Other that I am missing?

Any feedback is welcome! 🙏🏻

Very interesting observation. My thought is that when I retire I should be on a lower tax bracket since I have no income to report (assuming I won’t be working). So I understand your point of leaving some taxes behind.
