Talk me off the ledge, please!

We are living in some wild times. Typically, I would never even consider taking money out of investments but my gut is screaming that things are going to get crazy and this does not feel like other downturns in the market. I would not touch my 401k, IRA, 403b but we have liquid investments (roughly $300k) plus 90k in HYSA. I'm thinking of this to be able to leave the US is needed and living off this money for awhile if needed.

Is anyone else thinking like this? Or...should I be investing more (buy low while the market crashes)?! We are going to retire in about 6 years at 50/52 unless all hell breaks loose.
