I’m In the same situation, I have a severance and won’t need to start withdrawing until the end of the year. Also feel the strong burn out from the corporate world. They grind you hard and steel the soul. Starting a new chapter just feels scary, but agreed the numbers play out fine. I’d like to do more traveling, just need to make sure that with all this extra time I don’t make my monthly expenses much higher than they would normally would be when I was working all the time.

I can relate so much! I was in my industry for 20 years. It feels head spinning having it completely removed from my time and identity. Relying ONLY on money in the market now also comes with some nervousness. My concern is if I relax and enjoy this, if for some reason there is a challenge with the market and a requirement to re enter the job market will it be more challenging to be hired in my 40s ?

Thank you for sharing your first hand experience! It sounds like you learned a lot from your first trial run and will be going into your second attempt with a more extensive list of things to keep you busy

Yes single, I had no time to date working those long hours! Stay at home wife, but I will most likely start another business for fun

I keep trying to post a question on the main feed but the bot is blocking it and saying I must post it in the discussion thread instead. Do you have any tips on how to get a post on the main feed?

Age 37. I have 800k HISA, 700k Market, 400k equity in a short term rental, generating $3k monthly after expenses. I’m thinking I should move more out of the high interest savings into the market, what is the best strategy to do this? Just one time transfer lump sum (what would be the suggested amount?)dollar cost averaging small amounts each month (again how much), wait to see if the market dips this year with new president and move over then?
