Concerned about retirement because of job situation

(Burner account)

I recently left a very good job because of burnout/depression. Now that I'm rested and recovering, I am having trouble finding a job that is close to equivalent ($140K) and worried that the longer I'm not working, the harder it will be to find a job. That's why I am stressing about money and retirement. Currently, I am making a few thousand a month consulting part-time. No mortgage, no car payment. I do not own a home.

Age: 56

Income: About $2000 per month with part time consulting to cover expenses until I find a full-time job.

Monthly expenses

• $1,000 rent
• $300 food and cat supplies
• $80 subscriptions. ( will be cutting most of these)
• $73 phone
• $35 car insurance
• $300 health insurance (ACA)

Assets

• $710K 401k
• $125K IRA
• $36K pension ($300 for three years)
• $150K HYSA
• $10K traditional savings (I've spent some of my emergency fund)
• $3400 projected SS per month at 67

If and when I start making more $, I will put as much as possible in a Roth IRA before retirement. I'd like to feel less anxious about retirement if possible. How am I doing?
