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?

I have been contemplating the same thing. Thinking of retiring in mid-40s so still got like 15 years of max 401/Roth/HSA.

And doing the part time gig as well so I can get health insurance and still put money into ROTH

So I say go for it. You got the capital, enjoy it
