Checking to see if we are on the right path.

I’m a 35m and my wife is a 38f with 2 daughters ages 11 and 7. I make roughly 250k/year and my wife makes roughly 35k/year. We have around 200k in total debt the majority being the mortgage. We have 175k in an investment account, I have 60k in my Roth IRA, my wife has 20k in her Roth IRA, and i have around 215k in my 401k that is 75% Roth. I have 21k in my HSA as well that we max out every year. I just want to make sure we are over insured, under insured, or just right. The VUL policies are all invested 80/20 stock to bond with 10% of the bonds in high yield bonds. We have the following life insurance in-force.

35 male giving hope to the community.

I’m a 35 year old male, and I decided to show people a realistic 401k balance. I max it out every year, and I have a profit share I’m required to add every year as well. I don’t get a company match, so the contributions have all been me. Currently have 175,000 in a taxable brokerage and 60,000 in my ROTH IRA. My wife has 20,000 in her ROTH IRA and I max out my HSA every year up to the family limit. We have 19,000 in the HSA. Too many people on here have unrealistic 401k balances they flex, and it can feel discouraging.
