[quote=matt]I also have 2 young kids….. purchasing long term care insurance….
My other assets roll up to about $200k and are sitting in funds in my former 401k as well as former company stock…… due to a concern that this assignment may not play out long term… and the fact that I could be back in the US unemployed at a moments notice.[/quote]
I agree with everyone else, diversify. I think you just answered your question with those comments above. You have concerns about job security, you could be unemployed, you have 2 young children, what if you are unemployed for a year? What will you use to live off of? I wouldn’t think you’d want to liquidate your 401k…
Whatever you choose to do with the cash, I think in this economy, you should have 1 years worth of liquid savings in reserve ( not counting any 401k or investments monies). What to do with the rest…I think you want to diversify your investments. Maybe pickup an investment property, hire an investment professional with a good track record to invest some, but not all of your money.
