I know in California, you can get an additional 18 months of Cobra through Cal-Cobra. Not sure if other states have this too. Also, I personally would continue on the retirement plan for May!

If it were me , I would do exactly this also.

Ally Bank has, 10 day best rate guarantee. Also 150 day early withdrawal penalty. FYI

So true! :(

+10 Thanks for all of the work. I will digest this further tonight. Your assumptions were pretty darn good. My longest CD left is three more years to maturity. I will start moving into 50/50 allocations. I will look into the funds you mentioned. Yes, maxing out 401K and IRA until I...

Thank you for your reply. I did run through firecalc and it said I had 100% success. My expenses have not been tracked , but I will start doing so immediately . I do have a sense of what I spend because my paycheck goes into two accounts one a savings and one to pay bills. I mostly stay...
