In my life major decision must pass my "sleep at night" test. Before I act on it I pretend I made a decision and then discover if I am resting easy with it.

People have different tolerance levels for financial risk for various reasons. I agree with talking with one or preferably more fee-only FPs who have substantial experience with people in your circumstances. Then weigh their recommendations and make your choice. You are the one who must live with it.

I also agree that posting on TOTV is a good idea. One never knows where a a useful suggestion may come from.
