    I was about to post that I like to think of myself as my husband's ideal VLS, but after reading this I'm thinking 1 out of 2 ain't bad :rotfl:

    Or perhaps you are L&G MI. More rounded with a bit of a mind of its own

    I invest only in Vanguard Lifestrategy 60 and it is enough for me. It is actually a fund of funds though so well diversified.

    I had a fund once that turned out to be like a girlfriend with a drink problem and a push up bra.

    Glossy on the outside, but expensive to maintain and ultimately dissapointing once you got under the covers.
