Right now I am maxing out my TIAA-CREF 5%, which is matched 9.2%.

I would also like to tax shelter some more money each month, and can choose one or more of the following 5 options:

Vanguard
Fidelity
TIAA/CREF
Equitable
Valic

I will probably put an additional $1000 a month, and it will be for the long term. Any recommendations on how to divide the money? Should I just put it all into TIAA-CREF?

On top of that, ill probably use about $500 a month (non tax-sheltered) to buy stock.
 
What funds are you getting now through TIAA-CREF?

What are the Vanguard fund choices offered to you? They have an excellent set of index funds covering US and foreign stocks.

Edit: and how old are you? If under 40 you can safely be more aggressive and put close to 100% of your contributions into stock-based funds rather than bond or money funds. Over 40 you might start putting a little into bond funds.
