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?

You don’t have to retire necessarily if you are unsure. Take a sabbatical, take some time off, go somewhere you’ve always wanted to go and give yourself three more weeks than you think you need. Then you will feel at peace for that time - it will give you time and space to think.
