I have plans to sell my house soon. We will have about 800K from the sale of the house. I plan to retire in about 4 years in 2009. How should I invest the proceed of the sale so that I can retire comfortablely. I am currently living and working in Santa Clara, CA. In retirement, I think I would like to stay living in the Santa Clara area. My husband and I both have about 400K in our 401k at work. After selling our home, we will rent.
