I noticed the other day a well-respected poster here said he was 70% cash. So using your figure, about $350k cash.
Granted, I do not believe he is in his mid-thirties. I am not sure how that would skew the numbers.
ETA: This thread may help

I heard an interesting talk on the radio the other day... one of those local money shows.
The guy said, when does 30 + 43 = 0?
His point was, if you have $100k in the market and lose 30%, you have to make a return of 43% on the remaining $70k in order to get back to even.
His point? Don't lose money. Should be the #1 goal of any investor that has a decent portfolio built up.

said he was 70% cash.
If I include all of my stock portfolios I'm only about 40% cash now.
