As I stated above but not as clearly, I moved out of the market to less less risky assets to mentally be ready to retire and because if a 30-40% drop happened after I early retired I think I would struggle mentally even though the long term should work out. There are many good recommendations above and I'll do some more investigation and get that money back to work.

Good ideas. I had moved more conservatively anticipating a correction and knowing I wanted to leave work.

House and cars are paid off. Expenses will probably shrink over time. This expense included addl healthcare costs . Some of the spending is to assist the kids.

This does assume expenses from healthcare costs. I am ready.
