Do it. Put 5 million in a conservative RE asset and live off the rent. 20k cash a month should be enough even if you have kids.

What does your expense load look like? Does your wife work? What kind of cash flow or assets do you have? $30mm is a lot....

 

What's her concern all about? She's worried about some adverse event happening or recession or just not being able to support the same lifestyle if you scale back at work?

That would be the conversation worth having to me - living life based on what some blog says definitely ain't it.
