Okay my deets:
- 50 years old
~ $590k net worth
($120k investment home equity, $120k stocks, $350k blue-chip crypto)
~ $550/mo passive income ($250/mo rental home, $100/mo stock dividends, $200/mo crypto)
~ $2400/mo retirement income now vested if I stop working today, starting Age 67 (social security and work pension)
- No personal debt (except monthly ccard balance and investment home mortgage)
- $200k/yr salary (w/ bonus and 401k match really $225k)
- $5000/mo expenses (rent $2400, food $600, gym/massage/therapy $1000, phone/utilities $250, everything else $750... I live in Hoboken after all)
- No wife (that I know of), no children, have a gf who doesn't want to get married, rent my apartment
So........the big question is this:

Would I be happy if I retired today? (Well early 2022, to spread out my tax bill...)

Thank you for reading!
Quick answer is no.

Not sure what "blue-chip cryptos" are, but they make up 59.32% of your stated net worth. Considering you state "$120k investment home equity" and "$120k stocks" and later mention an "investment home mortgage" and a potential "401k match", I have to wonder how much you owe on that "investment home mortgage" to go along with your $2,400/month rent, plus whether your $120K stocks are going to be tied up in your 401k for 9.5 more years until age 59.5.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your 401k comment and your $120k stocks are outside of retirement and the 401k is just a prospective thought, but that still leaves you with $350K cryptos and $120K stocks, with the gains from both being taxed when you sell. The $120K investment home equity is not available for your living expenses unless you sell or borrow against it. Neither are good long term solutions.

I know I would not be looking to retire if these were my finances.

Sort of fits with the OP’s perceived personality. Pops in, a bit of chaos, pops back out.

For us lurkers on this site it is as important to read the community responses like this. This person is not ready at age 50. It is interesting to see your advice on what actions could be taken.
