Default Maintenance question

I bought a 97 accord with 125000 miles about four months ago. When I got the car I did the usual stuff. Changed the oil (which i keep up on), spark plugs, power steering belt, and wires. I want to change the distributor cap, timing belt, ATF fluid and alternator belt. Should I do everything at once be on the safe side or do one at a time?

Depends on $ flow
If you have the dough, then do them all. If money is tight and the timing belt has not been done, then that is the priority.

With the timing belt off and drive belts, do the water pump and main oil seal. Its about $50 in OEM parts.

dang a 97 with 125k miles.
I thought my 93 with 130k miles was high.

well with the average car getting 15k/year, that's about 120k for a 97, my 97 has 130k.
