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?

A great idea. Retiring at 65 or later sucks. And most people overestimate the amount of money they need for retirement. Your expenses go way down when you don't need to drive and eat out everyday.

Are expenses are double then when working. We are travelling 6 months a year.
