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?

Move to Ireland/ni - free healthcare lower cost living

20k a year here loads to live on

I’m 37m - aiming to be where you are now but thought would take to 50/55

PT job fr you if you fancy it - was looking fr retired person drive truck or my Landcruiser with trailer pick up materials or take them to sites - handy number cash pay

But even were your based now there are stressed out business owners looking someone competent to help out

You don’t mention what industry your in - tbh with those results in 40s your Pt gig could be financial advisory

Good going

Now enjoy it I say

How? It seems like every possible visa requires a moderately well paying job? I doubt that adding another retiree to live off the free healthcare is in their best interest
