This #fiat world is so depressing sometimes. I may have to withdraw sooner than I have planned just to maintain sanity and happiness.

I’ve noticed the corporate ladder has sucked more and more from me each rung I climb. I made the decision 2 years ago to start the decent back to the bottom where the foundation is stable. The tough part is the lifestyle I’ve built for my family revolves around the the income on those higher steps of the ladder.

Since making the decision of decline, I’ve paid off auto loan debt, cc debt, and have frugally cut spending on unnecessary materialistic things. I’ve started #growing our food and have started a young #foodforest. I’ve built up a business to which I can help others create food independence. It’s still not to the point where we can solely rely on it for our main stream of income but it’s growing.

I’m now at that scary part of descending down the ladder I worked so hard to climb. The rung I used to think I needed to live and provide a prosperous life for my family. I take time to reflect knowing that the experience gained from the climb was not lost.

If you’ve ever gone through this experience, please reach out and share your #story. You are not alone and it can be scary at times. Let’s help each other with #encouragement and possibly offer any advice for people starting this journey.
