Hi There,
Wife and I are 58. I'm looking at ER in the next few months (wife wants to keep working). We have three years of cash in CD's and savings standing by. We also have our 60/40 (Stock/bond) retirement money funded and ready to go.
But I also have this other cash just kind of sitting in a taxable Schwab account not doing anything (I sold a bunch of company stock last year).
At first I was thinking we need to figure out a low-risk, liquid Schwab Money Fund but thinking more about it, our cash position is fine, so I should just go ahead and invest it. So do I just sort of merge it into my existing asset allocation, or do you think about taxable vs retirement (pre-tax) asset allocations differently. Or am I overthinking it.
I feel like this is a dumb question, but so be it.
Thanks!
