Wow. I love the thought that someday, I might be able to just walk out of a job that I despise, because I have not spent my life collecting stuff that I don’t really want.

Thanks to all ya’ll for the nice comments. I had surgery yesterday, so it was nice to be the minimalist of the week. It makes me smile!! : ) I might need that margarita sooner than later. ; )

That is so moving and inspiring. I’m hoping for exactly that kind of freedom one day. No longer working 40+ hours just to maintain, but making just enough to stay free and mobile and enjoy my life as much as I can.

I always love reading these stories. I get more motivation out of someone’s story than I do from most of the tips people post.

Heather–great story. I can certainly identify with wanting to live simply after growing up in a packrat family! Good luck on quitting the rat race.

Great story, Heather! I came from an image driven family, too, though it took a while for me to pull away from it. Best of luck hitting the beach and drinking that margarita – sounds like an excellent plan .
