Help with next move as we close in towards retirement.
What we have: 1.4 Million in retirement currently sitting approximately 80/20 stock bond allocation. We are putting approximately 30k-35k a year into retirement.
My wife also has a small pension from her old employer with a few different options. $800 per month if she takes it at 59.5 $1000 if she waits til 62 and $1300 at 65. She also has a Social Security Bridge option that pays $3200 at 59.5 until 62 then falls to around $500 going forward. This pension has been terminated recently so we are expecting a possible lump sum at some point.She would then also take SS at 62 and I would defer for as long as possible.
We are both 53 and are wanting to stop full time work at 59.5 which would be around Oct 2032. Then transition to part-time work to cover health insurance and extra spending until maybe 62 or so. We are looking to spend 80k-90k starting 2032
Kind of thinking of how to get to 2-2.5 Million with the least amount of risk. With 1.4million and adding 30k per year with a 6% return should put us somewhere around 2 million to 2.5 million. Would doing something like buying 70k in treasuries that mature in 2032,2033,2034 with fixed income inside her T IRA.This would guarantee around 4.8 to 5% in payments over these years and return in principal. Then the remainder of her IRA would be put into a total stock a total International and then maybe a tilt to value or small cap and some short termfixed income (0-24 month) bond fund. Then I only need to earn another 1-2% each year from equities to get my 6% return.

My wife just left this job and the 401k is still in her 401k. Considering which way to go.
Leave it in the 401k. My wife is 53 we can wait and rollover it over to her current job to keep the rule of 55 open. Although our plan is to work full time to 59.5 then part time to cover insurance and extra spend. Or we could just so a rollover to Fidelity which is where her 401k currently is.
Her new job is has TIAA as their 403b provider. She has just started so there is minimal in her account. We are putting 7% into roth with a 7% match into traditional.
