Normal

Thus far my wife and I have done what is considered the norm. We went to college, got jobs, got married, bought a house, two cars etc. We have done pretty well. So here we are, working jobs we really don't like, we are so busy we barely have time for ourselves, despite trying to cut expenses, they are still quite high.

Both of us are are frustrated and depressed with where we are and want a drastic change. We usually try and avoid doing what is normal, but we just keep falling back into it. We feel like we are in a trap. We cannot pursue our interests or dreams while we are in our current situation; we don't have the time or money. We are both nearing our breaking point. Because of all of this we have been seriously looking into completely changing our lifestyle to something far simpler. Just not sure where to start.
