| Hi, this is my first post on this forum and I had a question about my 401k. I am 21 right now and I just started putting in money from my paycheck into my 401k, however since I'm new to all of this I had no idea on where to allocate my percentages.This is the list I was given :STABLE VALUE FUND, BOND INDEX FUND CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND MODERATE BALANCED FUND GROWTH BALANCED FUND AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUND ASSET ALLOCATION DODGE & COX STOCK FUND S&P 500 INDEX FUND DIVERSIFIED EQUITY FUND LARGE COMPANY GROWTH FUND DIVERSIFIED SMALL CAP FUND EUROPACIFIC GROWTH FUND NASDAQ 100 INDEX FUND: I was pretty intimidated by all the funds so I just gave everyone of them 5 or 7%. So I guess my question would be where should I go if I'm aimed at something long term and how should I allocate things. I know I the names of each funds should be my first clue, but I just wanted some feedback Thanks in advance for the help. |

| There are people here who can help you much more than me, but you should definitely see if your company has a 401K rep. My company set up a meeting for me with him when I first started and he walked me through the optimal distribution from his perspective. I didn't follow all of his advice after talking to others, but it was a good starting point. |

| One thing you might try is to speak with the individual who does the investing for the company you work for. Explain that you are new to investing and are looking for some general guidance and advice. You may make a new friend and pick-up some very sound advice too. |
