I remember feeling the desperation you describe and I want to assure you that once you make the leap, it becomes less and less scary. I've learned that you truly can't prepare for everything. Have a nest egg, yes, but at some point, you just have to trust your gut. Who can say how much money you'll need down the road? You just have to trust that you'll figure it out when the time comes. (Definitely save a chunk of money first ... getting finances in order is a huge leap into freedom.) Cheering you on! Melissa Hi Rachael,

I am also a step mother, caught in the corporate world, desperate to get out. After too many years of ladder climbing, materialism, consumerism and trying to keep up with the Jones' I discovered that the top rung wasn't acutally that comfortable. I felt isolated and out of balance up there, tettering on a peak I had worked so hard to reach. My husband and I have started rationalising our lives to get out from under any debt (apart from the mortgage) and to simplify so that we have more time for each other and for the good stuff in life. I have also started my own business and I am desperate to get into it full time but for this year, our focus is on removing the excess so that we can make this transition. The thought of leaving a well paid, stable job for my own business is scary but your about page has given me such hope today, for the long term goal. Change is inevitable for me too, and you have helped me take another step towards it. Thank you.
