I’m considering breaking into investment banking, hedge fund management or wealth management. Before I moved to the UK I managed a FX Bureau in Malawi for 10 years. It was really engaging helping B2B and B2C clients in a developing market with high currency risk, supply shocks and a need for hard cash. Due to the volatility of the local currency, reinvesting profits into the capital market and real estate was a secondary function that I also came to enjoy." ### Discussion #44 by @reddit > **Author:** [@reddit](https://x.com/reddit) > **Metrics:** 0 likes · 0 retweets · 2 comments · 0 views > **Posted:** 2026-10-05T05:41:32.328000+00:00 > > "Am I holding too much cash? Age: 35 Married, single earner. Income: ~$500k gross Net Worth: ~$3M Monthly Expenses: ~$10k (includes travel) Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Maxing out 401(k), Backdoor Roth, and Mega Backdoor Roth annually Current Portfolio (~85/15 Equity/Cash): ~$500k (~15% of NW) ~$2.8M (Mostly VT, plus a small allocation in individual stocks) My Situation & Thoughts I've been targeting roughly an 80/20 setup, but stock growth has naturally pushed my cash down to about 15% of my total net worth. My main rationale for keeping $500k in cash is having "dry powder" ready to invest during a market downturn, as I've missed buying the dip a few times in the past. However, with $10k/month in expenses, $500k covers over 4 years of spending. Given my income level and ongoing cash flow, I'm starting to wonder if I'm letting cash drag hinder long-term compounding, or if this is an acceptable buffer to hold."
