[quote=Anonymous]I think DH and I are doing relatively okay.  The majority of our portfolio in property.  We have a rental property in addition to the house that we live in.  We are 40 years old.  So here is our household info.

Properties: $1 million (net)
Stocks: $150k
Bonds: $5k
Retirement:  $600k
529 for 2 kids:  $50k

Cash:  $80 k (this includes emergency fund)

So I have been putting money into a Vanguard 500 index fund.  That is about 80% of our stocks.  Do you think I need to diversify more? I don't think I need to meet with a financial advisor because the fees alone are pretty high.  I just don't think we are at the point in which we have so much money. We are pretty frugal.  Our HHI including the rental propertiy is about $300k.  We are increasing the 529 contribution for the kids.  But my question is mainly what else can I invest in to diversify our holdings.  I know for now we are heavily in housing.  Which mutual fund would you consider investing in besides the 500 Index fund?

The Emergency fund is enough to cover us for a year if no income from either DH, me or the rental property.
