First time poster, long time reader. I am a 31 single Male who is interested in pursuing Early retirement through FI, and would like some help from my fellow mustachians in choosing the right asset allocation for my 401k plan (4% company match), and setting up my future investments with the goal of Financial Independence in about 10 years.
My current expenses are around 2,700/ month (rent, groceries, insurances) and I have 7,000/ month that I am putting toward the 66,680 that I have left in student loan debt @ 5.375% . My goal is to pay that off in the next 10-12 months. I already put a lump sum payment of 66,000 earlier this year, I am trying to get rid of this debt like its an emergency. Not sure if this is so wise though.
Here are my financial specifics:
Emergency fund: $1,000 (purposefully low to pay off student loan debt)
RothIRA with Vangaurd invested in their Target 2045 Fund with 27,000 that I can no longer contribute to because of income limitations
Rollover IRA with Vangaurd invested in VBIAX with 10,000
Brokerage account with:
10,000 in VTSAX
100 in VYM
100 in VIM
1,000 total in various dividend stocks (GE, PFO, GIM, EDR, BKCC, BSI, AKS)
The 401K plan options break down as follows, I don’t know which funds would be best to invest in, I currently hold 70% Vanguard Mid-Cap Index-Signal and 30% PIMCO solely because they have the lowest expense ratios and can offer some growth, but that is from guessing.
JPMCB Stable Aset income Fund-F ER: 0.47
PIMCO Total Return-P ER: 0.56

JPMCB SmartRetirement 2015-C10 ER: 0.80

JPMCB SmartRetirement 2045-C10 ER: 1.15
JPMCB SmartRetirement 2050-C10 ER: 1.19
JPMCB SmartRetirement 2055-C10 ER: 1.19
JPMorgan Equity Income-R5 ER: 0.67
JPMOrgan Equity Index-Select ER: 0.69

Aston Fairpoint MidCap-N ER: 1.15
Vanguard Mid-Cap Index-Signal ER: 0.12

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
