You’re on track for early retirement. You’re likely well-disciplined.
Take this windfall, or at least some part of it, for something to enjoy. A holiday, a reasonable new vehicle if you drive (I.e not a luxury car of course), or maybe home improvements. Hell, make it a classic car that appreciates in value and only drive it on the weekends in the summer.
You can’t take your money to the grave with you and none of us truly knows if we’ll even make it to retirement. It’s great that you’re disciplined financially, but you should also enjoy life while you’re still young.
OR throw it all into whatever you’re currently investing in, and retire a year or 2 earlier. Idk.
Warframe. Played once on PS4 for a couple hours and thought, meh. Played it on PC and poured 800 hours into it. Mouse, keyboard and high refresh rate make a night and day difference in action games or any game that requires camera movement. And that something consoles will never have no matter how much they improve.
I’d pull it all out and invest into ETFs or maybe some individual stocks or REITs with high dividends. Maybe AA+ and higher rated bonds, if there’s anything with a decent yield out there.
I would say the most beneficial thing you could do for yourself instead of investing energy in to avoiding “feminine” workouts, is to work on unlearning the toxic masculinity that has created these false, sexist, and bioessentialist ideas in your mind in the first place.
Once you’ve done that you’ll be free to consider what exercises actually works best for you, rather than what exercises to avoid because you don’t want to be considered “inferior” (by yourself and others who harbour toxic masculinity).

I never said or even didn’t thought any of these things.
A Man wanting Masculine body is sexist now ?
I don’t know whether this is sExIsT ot not. But I do think there is certain body type that people love to see on their partners. And it differs from person to person. And as a person who just discovering the world, I’m just curious what other people’s opinion is like. And just found out that not everyones’ opinion is worth of my curiosity.
Maybe you should unlearn the way of seeing everything in the lens of toxic masculinity, sexist, inclusivity, etc.
The fact that people are doing this in a conscious manner is pretty weird itself. Like, Is that what people like you got in mind all the times regardless of the context?
Also, I don’t like fact that clumping Masculinity with Toxicity became a exciting hobby for many people for whatever reason that only God may know. Which is sickening.
If you have enough other investments to be comfortable, don’t especially want to change retirement timeline etc. and your wife is fine with it, I’d keep it as a potential hedge against a depression that crashes the value of index funds. I would not split it between whichever small crypto projects can sell you a convincing narrative that they have ‘moon potential’ when your financial circumstances mean you don’t really need that anyway and that is specifically what would open you up to the ‘scamminess’ of crypto.
Honestly, it'd just go to stuff I need for the house. There's a lot of canning stuff I want but I need to import it from the US (pressure canning isn't a thing here in Japan and even water-bath canning is super rare so supplies are sparse and expensive). I'd also get a chainsaw and wood chipper. I would pay someone to do a full tune-up on my tractor and maybe get a mower attachment. Anything else, I'd basically put in the account that I use to pay my mortgage and for any home expenses.
When I played flag football in elementary school we were required to wear a mouth guard but we didn’t have these fancy things. So what we did was put pre-sweetened Kool-Aid mix in them and now it’s no wonder so many of us developed bad teeth.
I got a ~6k Dogecoin windfall a few years back. (Found the coins I bought in 2014 at <0.1c, sold at 25c)
I think I put like 1k into my more conventional investments, blew like $2k in indulgences (new GPU, collectibles), and set most of the rest aside for the revenuers.
I used to listen to anything I could sing. But now, it's predominantly instrumentals. And this is going sound brazen and haughty af but I like just about anything as long as it sounds "good" and tends to have some weight to it. But if it's fluff, I want it to really lean into the fluff and own it. I used to be obsessed with music, but it's really become a blip in the sea of my life nowadays =_o!
I listen to Dim when I want to focus. Orpheus Odyssey when I want to calm down. Rocc when I want to have a good think. Pineapples when I want to have a good bad sing =)!
*Ritviz when I want something with singing in the background that doesn't distract me too much.
