I've been lurking on this forum for a couple weeks and figured I was long overdue to post an introduction!
I have been living in the Southeast for nearly 20 years. After divorcing from a marriage that put a significant amount of pressure on me to be the perfect "trophy wife" at the expense of my happiness, I have wanted to revert back to a more simple life and discard the urge for hyper-consumption to portray an image to others that wasn't mine nor an image I had truly wanted.
It's been about 4 years since I slowly began my path towards a simpler life; although I struggle from time-to-time, I feel much more content. By implementing some old frugal habits, it helped pay off the $40K in marital debt and bring me more relief and happiness.
Although my time spent on this forum may be limited for a bit (I'm on the path to finally earn my Bachelor's degree), I am looking forward to participating in several conversations with you all!
