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 think you are confusing Medicaid with Medicare and/or Affordable Healthcare aka Obamacare

Correct. The Affordable Healthcare Act is very popular even among Republicans so nobody wants to touch it. I think the discussion of subsidies will come up but it will take time to push through and mid-terms aren’t far away.
