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.
The problem with posting this here is that someone may give an answer that sounds good, the op acts on it and than learns it was the worst possible thing to do.
