DH and I have given 3 months notice to our employers.
Our apartment lease is up on 10th August.
It still doesnt feel real. I still worry about money and other associated things.

Work less, live more. A thirty something female's journey to financial independance, freedom from the rat race and escape from Britain.
About Me
- Dreamer
- I am a thirty something female I left my job working in the legal profession. I hope that I have gained some measure of financial freedom to leave the corporate world and rat race behind for good.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fabulous. I imagine you will feel scared, apprehensive, nervous, excited, overwhelmed, happy, sad (I know we did!)... but I bet that once you get on board with this new journey it will unravel in ways you never expected and at the end (although really, is there an end once you get on board? hmmmm!) you will feel much more in tune with the life you desire. Bon Courage! x
Yay from me too! From your posts it's always seemed like you need to do this; go for it, and like Alice says once you're living it, you'll never look back
the very, very best of luck :-)
Wooohoooo! How exciting. We're stuck here until October - but then, who knows?
Alice, yes happy and scared, its something we really need to do, im hoping something will appear along the way as you say x
Laura, thanks :) i've been guilty of inertia, im trying to switch off the spreadsheet part of my brain and just go with the flow and believe that we will always be OK as long as DH and I have each other
Anna, thanks :)
Congrats & best of luck to you! Keep us informed on this new phase of your escape!
Wow you did it! Good for you. You just inspired me even more to take steps to where we need to be. I can't wait to be able to do the same thing: sell the house, sell the stuff, get into the RV and hit the road. How exciting. :) Have you decided on a permanent residence once you leave the UK?
Hi RMM, to be honest I cant see us having a permanent residence for some time if at all. At the moment I am thinking about houses on water or houses on wheels, but none of those really fill me with inspiration. If I lived in the USA I would do as you plan to do and buy a big RV to live in. You can do it there you have the climate, I cant really see it working here, we dont have the climate etc.
Although we are looking at long term stay in Devon, the rent would be half of what we pay now. I really want to try and find a permanent solution and I am concerned about the rising cost of rents and utilities, living on water or on wheels we would have very little by way of bills.
Fantastic news. Remember, the really important changes often feel the scariest.
What are your immediate plans after leaving work - you mentioned a possible trip to California?
Let us know how it all goes!
This sounds exciting! Congratulations and best of luck to you. :-)
Olive and Cher, thanks:)
Tony, well immediate plans are that we are housesitting for a friend for 2 weeks, then going to take a trip down to Devon and the gower for a few weeks to have a look around, then in september we are going abroad for a month, still undecided where to go:) Then after that, not sure, maybe back to the UK looking at rentals in Devon for 6 months or maybe abroad again. Havent booked anything yet, most important thing is to get out of here first.
Hurrrah! Good for you, you won't avoid the doubts we found them almost crippling at times but I can assure you it's all worth it in the end!
Best wishes,
