They have some great LifeStrategy funds that give you great diversification in 1 fund. Simple!
60 stocks/40 bonds- Vanguard LifeStrategy Mod Gr. VSMGX - expense .14%
40 stocks/ 60 bonds - Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Gr. VSCGX - expense .13%
By contrast, Fidelity is very expensive and consistently puts the interest of the Family (the Johnson Family are billionaires!) before everyday investors. Some people even pay Fidelity 1% additional fee to manage their money!
Take your money someplace else. Hire someone who is fee only (not fee based) and a fiduciary for YOU!
Read this scathing article from Reuters!

In the interest of full disclosure, what is your affiliation/relationship with Vanguard?
While I use Vanguard also, your posts seem to indicate you're more than just an interested investor.
