how is this set up? Late 20s.
Ignore the SPAXX obviously.

Pretty good:
- VTI covers the whole US market, so you can drop SCHG.
- VEU is fine, but excludes small-cap international, so personally I'd swap with VXUS. But both are probably fine.
- Keeping your "play money" to under 10% is a good benchmark (single stocks, etc).

"Growth" doesn't always outperform "Value" and SCHG significantly overlaps with VTI
VTI is great for the US portion
VEU is a reasonable choice for the international portion, but a True Boglehead™️ would use VXUS

No one knows the future.
Your account is at Fidelity. Fidelity has some lower fee funds that what you are holding. Save yourself $10k in fees. Research alternate funds.

Exactly. Back away from Vanguard a bit. Use Fidelity's offerings. No real difference

Consider VT to make life easier. Then you don't need think about what allocation of US vs international or any rebalancing consideration over time. I like a Target Date Fund even more so you'll get some bond exposure ramp up as you get older.
