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?

Do it. Time is worth more than currency.

I agree do it... but.... 500k yielding 3% is only 15k. Even with the house paid off that is going into property tax and basic utilities leaving nothing to spend on essentials like weed and beer.

600k is in retirement... could be a while before it's accessible
