You’re going to create a glide path:

  • Start years old
  • End years old
  • Think about your risk tolerance and whether you will be able to pay for some of university when the kid is ready and the market drops
  • Based on your risk tolerance you will define how “safe” you want to be
  • The glide path can be a little more strep wise than full glide if this fits your risk tolerance

Let’s assume that this is your glide path:

  • Start at zero years old
  • End at 18 years old
  • By the end have no stocks

Adjust the ratio as you see fit for your own risk tolerance.

Each year adjust your asset allocation to meet the glide path .
