Homemade 5 Course Tasting Menu

Made a 5 course tasting menu at home for my mom’s wedding anniversary.

First time cooking a tasting menu and I would do it again. Can’t lie logistics get tough when you are doing it yourself. The toughest part is timing the dishes to be perfectly ready once everyone finishes each course.

Pro tip- heat or keep your plates cold to correspond with the dishes temperate

  1. Corn + Cheese Croquette
    Crispy fried potato croquette with sweet corn and a Gruyère, served with Parmesan aïoli

  2. Salmon Crudo - Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Radish Salmon with citrus segments, shaved radish ribbons, capers, and olive oil

  3. Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe
    Homemade gnocchi

  4. Beef Wellington with Cherry Wine Sauce
    Half-portion filet Wellington, mushroom duxelles, puff pastry, finished with a cherry wine reduction

  5. Peach Tarte Tatin
    Caramelized peaches and puff pastry

M23 salary 85K. Currently have 20k in SGOV in broker (emergency fund). Took some profits on previous plays and have around 230K cash to deploy. Looking to revamp my portfolio, 50% in VTI, 40% in conviction and value plays.
10% BTC/gold (Have around 5% in BTC miners/BTC, looking at buying 5% in gold)

Any advice on specific portfolio investment allocation/splits for someone who is young and looking to FIRE early-mid 30s? Right now im only in the market, open to any wisdom in diversifying too.

My 2nd question is about financial order of operations. Do I max out my 401k and use some of my cash to bridge and perform a Roth ladder when I plan to FIRE or do I just max out my Roth IRA contribute to my match and invest the rest in brokerage

Id appreciate any advice. Thanks

I'm a 23M working in biotech and living at home. I just got a massive settlement from a personal injury case back in college. My mom is a corporate lawyer and she helped me navigate the process, plus she paid for my college tuition. Now, she's asking for 15% of the money / to pay her back for college (but she was already going to pay for college.)

I'm feeling stuck because 15% is a massive amount of money to just give away. Is it normal for parents to ask for a cut of a settlement like this? I want to stay on good terms since live at home, but I also feel like this money is for my future. We have a a good relationship.

Edit: I already paid a lawyer his 1/3 cut. My mom was a huge part of pushing for me sueing. She’d be using the money to buy a new house in Florida she always wanted since I refuse to buy a house in his economy and rather rent and invest the rest

Edit #2: Probably shouldn’t have stated my mom is a lawyer (she did not represent me in the case in anyway). But yes, what she specifically did was help me find a lawyer, told me to push back on the lawyer and ask for more.
