Sorry, tried to format this, but do not know how...  With that said, and with an appreciative spirit, I would like some help from my friends here at MMM to guide me with what I have.  Total is right around $1.3 million.  My situation is:

I have been/project to live on less than $20,000/year.  I rent, am single/divorced, and have no other debt.  Currently in a situation of ER transition, trying to get my feet under me, feel confident with my choice and new lifestyle, and find out just what the hell I want to do with the rest of my life...  I know punching a time clock, and long commutes are not in this future.  This portfolio has bits and pieces from decades ago, some very recent, and now seemingly not very smart...  What the hell can you do, but the best you can at the time. 

The huge amount of current cash is because I was very close to buying a home (about $100k), with the rest as an emergency fund (face punch for the amount).  The TIAA-CREF was inherited, part of it a variable annuity, and I currently have to take RMD's from it for about $3,000/yr.  The QDRO is still held at my ex-wife's benefit provider (Hewitt), and the fees/cost are actually pretty good considering the source.

Obviously I would like to be as tax efficient as possible, and hopefully using the 4% rule, I should not be broke in the future...  Would like to stay around a 3% SWR ideally.  So, your advice, suggestions and help to maximize my situation are GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks!

I don't know how you can keep up with all those funds and stocks. Seems confusing. I'll bet you could cut it down to 5-10 index funds MAX across everything and see the same performance, possibly even better performance, than what you've been getting. Something like:

US Total Stock Market
US REITs
Total Int'l Stock Market
US Total Bond
Total Int'l Bond

The sector funds IMO don't make much sense for most people. Unless you have some sort of inside info (the legal kind) that the industry should outperform in the long run, or are holding all the sector funds in equal weight to make your own equal weight total stock market fund, I just don't see the point.

Looks like roughly $1.3 mil total you have. 3% SWR would probably be fine. Finding side income is never a bad idea, if anything just so you have something to keep your mind going.

Yeah, totally agree about narrowing it down, and I hold pretty much every fund you mention already...  Thought the same "whew", that's a heck of a lotta funds...  Really want to get out of the Janus funds, and plow the proceeds into my Vanguard holdings to save on cost, plus simplicity.  Wondering what kind of tax hit I will get selling the taxable Janus/Transamerica funds, then putting that into my taxable vanguard funds?  Worth it?

You might be able to transfer some funds over and target funds that have losses to help offset the short and long term gains.

But other than that, I would start moving the funds only after you have ER, and have very low earned income, that way you can pay zero taxes on long term capital gains.
