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! 🙏🏻

Devil’s advocate if there is a broader market sell off, and op is in a more volatile sector. They may prefer just taking the 10% as normal income and diversifying.

No right answer, depends on your risk tolerance.
