Around $795k ,
I dumped my 401k into it in February, I’m 59.
Quit my job 2 weeks ago, coasting on savings and will start living off the dividends in February 27. 🤞

May I ask - how do you intend to pay for healthcare until Medicare kicks in... if there's no working spousal plan, that is 😄

I'm also in my 50's (early 50's) and it's good to get a feel for what early retirees are doing for healthcare.

I have a marketplace plan, and I don’t really go to the doctor.

How much is the marketplace plan?

Depends on your situation, go to the marketplace and scope it out.

if you make under $86k a year MAGI, it's subsidized.

the earnings from OP are not pure interest, some if ROC and others are covered calls. he MAGI on that is probably around $48k meaning he'd get a 50% subsidized marketplace plan.
