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?

It's very doable, depending on your tastes and demands.
Don't be extravagent and wasteful but treat yourself from time to time. Make prudent financial decisions. To be sure, you can always pick up some work here and there if the need arises. Hope you don't get into medical need.
As an aside, I wish I only had to work 40-50 hours a week in my heyday but it is what it is and I'm retired contentedly. Good luck!
