If that $2M is invested wisely you can withdraw $100k/yr and you’ll still have $2M when you die. You’ve worked hard for many years, enjoy what time you have left.

100% correct. Move the 401k into an IRA so you can manage it yourself or have a financial advisor do it for you. You can easily take $100k/year, along with your social security and you'll really enjoy retirement. I retired in Feb 2020 at 64 1/2 years old and I've NEVER regretted it. My wife and I have retirement savings in 8 figures and I also draw SS, my military retirement, and my 100% VA disability payment. Life is GOOD, and we both do what we want, when we want to. Oh yeah...go get your unemployment payments as well!

You're 72. Start enjoying your life!
