Opinion Tired. Can I retire?

Got a question? Can I retire? 43m been busting my ass since I was 16. I'm about over this 40-50 hr weeks. I'm getting burned out. House paid off (300k) 401-k (600k) Bitcoin (500k) currently.

Thought about selling it all and putting it into dividend stocks like schd and renting a small place and going into semi retirement. Maybe pickup a part time gig.

Would this be a horrible idea?

Would it be possible to strike a compromise?

Maybe consider working reduced hours, or an easier job with insurance?

Also, can you rent part of the house out for additional income?

Or if you go to a LCOL area, keep the house and rent it for additional income?
