We changed our outlook on money and mental health.
My husband and I have have been together since 2008. (M52, F41) We have gone from a couple of young workers to now middle-age workers but went from a hospital for me and an office out on location for him to a goat farm. We now milk goats and managed to 125 on an artisan cheese goat farm and it’s the happiest we’ve been. He traveled full-time Monday through Friday for his job for 10 years and I had reached a point that he couldn’t take it anymore. He called me from the road suicidal and I told him just come back to me I don’t want the money I want you. He got counseling and had been in treatment and ultimately found a job at a local goat farm. I came on to help with the babies because I am home with chronic pain I’m disabled from four back surgeries. I did interventional radiology and and even talked for a little bit in the large type of city. Now we work outside with minimal contact with other people just animals.
Our mental health is so much better we get to be with each other.
Our finances our a complete different story I won’t get into it here. But we cut our income by @ 75% so it was an adjustment!
I highly recommend that you evaluate your health and wellness before ultimately your financial situation. Try to enjoy life while you are here!
