Better idea, instead of sell the house, rent it out. Extra income and you'd find someone to gain money from faster. After a few years traveling gets old. Just don't sell the house, rent it out. It's a better market to rent it out anyways. Stocks, now is the BEST time to buy, the stocks falling in price will not last forever, obviously. I'd stick to blue chip stocks that pay good dividends and have a good long term track record. Enjoy life man, but don't hop on the crazy train selling off literally everything. Think it thoroughly, logically.
