[quote=Anonymous]I was 0651. As someone above said, I am not against some stock market exposure, just against a taxable high-fee stock account that is likely to underperform the market as a whole ( I am assuming that it is an actively managed account). So, good for you that you have an emergency fund. Next up for me would be topping off my 401K to the maximum (which should nearly all be invested in low-cost stock funds, assuming you won't need it for many years). The remainder I would save as cash for a house down payment (money market account, CD or MM mutual fund), or if it makes you happier, split it and use some to open a 529 (again, this would be stock market exposure). Remember, these are not huge amounts, and the return on investment is not huge. So, if one option makes you more comfortable, choose that. [/quote]
