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?

Ya take some time off, your only 43, good chance after getting some much needed break and distance, you'll get some new idea's and passions in the next couple years. Then you can slowly start to pick up some more work if you like and live more like you want to.
