I am going to do a direct roll over into an IRA interest bearing account because Scottsdale said I would need a minimum of 100K for a money market account and I only have 33K.

Sounds like some kind of mis-communication. It doesn't matter much though, because:

Hopefully it'll only be for a short time though. I 'm going to take TMFPixy's advice and immediately purchase some reading material like the Foolish Fours Book for starters. I still think I would like to put the bulk of it into the RP4, maybe 20K or so and I'll decide what to do with the rest after I read some of the literature TMFPixy mentioned. What do you think?

This sounds like a reasonable plan to get yourself moving in the right direction while still sleeping nights.
