HOW SHOULD
I SPLIT THIS?

Tell us your situation. Get a real opinionated allocation with actual dollar amounts — not a generic pie chart. We'll tell you what goes where and why, based on your timeline, stability, and risk tolerance.

⚠ Before we allocate anything — you need an emergency fund. We're setting aside 3-6 months of expenses before touching investments. This isn't optional. An emergency without a cash cushion means selling investments at the wrong time.
⚠ High-interest debt detected. Paying off debt above 7% is the same as earning that return guaranteed. No market investment reliably beats 20% credit card interest.

This tool provides educational allocation frameworks based on widely accepted investing principles (emergency fund first, debt payoff before investing, age-appropriate risk, etc.). It is not personalized financial advice. Actual allocations should account for your full financial picture, tax situation, and goals. Consider speaking with a fiduciary financial advisor for complex situations.
