I reckon so.....
I was lucky i didnt have any else to persuade. Just me myself and i. Admittedly my sons were surprised and shocked but i do it inspire them.
I bet you both had a "journey" to get to that point where you realised you were done!!
We are constantly told that stuff will make us happy...hmmmmmm does it?
Everytime you wanna buy something ask
Do i need it?
How many of it do i already own?
How many nights accommodation would it pay for in my dream location?
Will it make me fat? (I know but i didmt realise how much money i wasted on food that was making me fat and unhealthy)
And then if you decide not to buy it, congratulate yourself by puting the money in new account that will pay for your future dreams...believe me...it can chane your life and bring you everything ...Hey @lynncoyle1
@thedarkhorse sell that shit!! Stuff is such an anchor. Admittedly i dont know what your dreams or goals are and i didnt for years. But if it is to travel and get away, stop buying stuff.

Oh it was and still is a journey for sure! Brian and I both write about it; some great, some not so great (he has cancer), but in the end, that's what life is all about!
So right lynne.
Life is for living and it is perfect in its imperfection. I am sure writing about the journey all aspects of it, the physical and the emotional will be of use to many people..and i hope steemit gives you the leverage to do that. All the best wishes...and being seeing you again on the steemit waves
@lynncoyle1 I figured that @beestrong and yourself might have a little in common ;) .
@beestrong stuff isn't on my list for purchases at this point in my life. Unless it's something I need like clothes I really just don't want it. The hard part is I run an inventory based business so I have a massive anchor tied to that. I have over 2000sq ft of storage for this business and am always needing to buy more to keep it going.
Actually trying to figure out if I liquidated everything how much money I'd have and could it finance a few years of "travel". If I can add a digital/online income stream on top of the lump sum selling everything would net I bet we could pull it off. Spend some time in multiple countries around the world and let my kids see the world learning about different cultures while we live in them. Think it would make for some very well rounded kids who at the end of it would hopefully understand themselves and the world much better the most people ever get too.
Wow, that is alot of stuff..
And amazing possibilities....The main calculation i did was where do i want to live, can i legally stay there and what do i want in that new life. How much are my assets worth and do those two sums reconcile and if not where can i make changes
I guess because i was always poor i realised i didn't need much so i am more than happy with little and of course i then make my money last longer. Also because i live alongside local people (rich in comparison to them) i get truly authentic experiences of life in.thailand nepal laos india to.name a few...
