Much financial good advice here. Let me give you some life advice.

Cut the sugar. I presume you are American and your entire culture pretty much made you a sugar addict so this will be hard but do it. Your health depends on it. Yes, all diet advice is suspect but this is not: stop eating anything with refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup in it. With much less money than that you can already afford to hire a chef if you don't like cooking/baking.

Slow down. Destress. Learn to enjoy for real a fresh, local strawberry. Enjoy every bite. Grab a book, read on the beach at sunset. These things won't take a lot of time but now you can afford that little time and you don't need to stress on your next mortage payment, job etc so you can really enjoy these moments.

agree. now that the pressure isn't there to get cash/retirement taken care of, it is a great idea to invest more time and energy into diet, exercise and health!

add regular (3x a week 1/2 hour each time) strenuous (and sustainable AND fun) exercise and enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable aging process
