With three years to go on retirement: Maximize your 401 K contributions (its free money). Depending on your income level convert as much (of the 401K funds)as you can to a Roth - if you can. Assuming you are 59.5 roll your existing 401K into a self directed IRA that allows the sale of puts and calls (options). I use and enjoy both TDAmeritrade and Interactive brokers. This will allow you to get a slow experience level of self directing your funds. You are doing all of the right things - enjoy your post work life - it is a great change and will take a while - it did for me! Bob
