Really happy to share this with you all!

So my wife and I went on vacation in September. We got to see each other for 12 days straight. Remembered we kind of really like each other.
Made the decision to give up the high paying careers and start to enjoy living, not existing.
I got rid of my prized possession, a 2017 E63 AMG, and replaced it with an affordable Hyundai.
We sold our home of 15 years and moved from Washington to Arizona.
I took a 73% pay cut and my wife took a 38% pay cut.
We see each other each day, and we also see the sunshine. It’s pretty amazing.
We just (less than 10 minutes ago) e-signed the docs to buy our new home.
I just need some prayers that the financing actually goes through.
It’s very small (1185 sq/ft), but it’s just the two of us, so it should do us well.
The best thing for me, it’s move in ready, clean, needs no work and has pretty much a non existent yard, so I don’t have to do yard work ever again. If I do it’ll total minutes a month. =)

Here are some pics of the soon to be, new domicile.

Image hosting threw the pics in at random...

Congrats! well done. Nice looking home, too. what part of AZ? Are you near Casa "Mia"?

Man that's pretty sweet actually. 73% pay cut must have been a tough pill to swallow though.

Do people in AZ actually use their dryers? I would think once they come out of the wash, you could just hang them on a line or something. By the time you're done hanging up the last garment, its time to pull the first one off.

That's freaking adorable.

You'll be fine - You know the cost of living is so much less here, PLUS if you're not stressed out, it's not hard to land a side hustle and stack more paper.

Welcome back to the land of normal people.

You'd think so...but you'd bring in all your clean clothes covered in dust.

Congrats man! That looks to be really nice and all anyone really needs.
Totally feel you on the 'living' vs 'existing.' Y'all made the right choice.
