Midlife Realizations | Would you change EVERYTHING? | Tea Chat

Midlife crisis? That term may be a bit too strong, but today I wanted to talk about those moments of midlife where you start to realize... you could just start living life completely differently. What would you do?

I talk through some of the background of what has been going on in life lately, chat about what may be on the horizon... (???) and also answer when daily vlogs will be back! (Spoiler: Summer family travel vlogs coming your way soon!)

Book mentioned (affiliate link):

Also, if any younger people are watching this - don't be afraid to try new things, make a budget early, but also make sure you try to budget for fun experiences! Those stay with you for life!

We are a military family, so we move around a lot. We spent four years in Alabama and fell in love! I never would have guessed we would love it there so much. We kept our house there and are currently renting it out. We are going back when my husband retires!

I turned 43 this year and my husband will turn 40. We're having these same kind of discussions. I dont think it's a midlife crisis, it's a completely new phase of life for us that comes with new life choices and hopefully growth. Im glad you posted this video. Its nice to know we're not the only ones gowing through this process ❤

I definitely felt like you were happier in the southern area to be honest. I could kinda tell youve been struggling for awhile with things in life. And thats ok we all go through patches like that in life. I would say find what truly makes you happy and brings you peace inside.

I don’t typically comment, but I was homeschooled, and I would highly recommend it for the girls! There are plenty of online schooling programs, and it could alleviate some of the stress concerning the girls’ schooling if that ever became a big issue! I found that it helped me to create my own schedule early on, be responsible for my own work, and I frankly really enjoyed it overall 😁

My biggest advice would be down size with the next move and go mortgage free asap. It shifts your whole mind set. We were always debt free and became mortage free in our late 30's. We are now in our early 40's with two teenagers. We have no plans of ever moving out of our 1, 600 sq ft "starter home". We both work and save half of our take home income.

Downsizing every 3 weeks is ridiculous! That is incredibly stressful 😮 Wishing your family well.

Long time follower.. I rarely ever comment on videos... but with that said, it seemed that you and your family were happier in AL.

So excited for y’all! So curious to see where y’all will move to. Back to Alabama or maybe Florida…
So we’re in our early 40s have no mortgage ( my husband paid off the house)BUT I have around $10, 000 in credit card debt myself that I did to myself. My husband is very responsible and always saving money. I have to stick to my plan to pay it off in one year so I can have the flexibility in life (don’t like where I live right now) so hard because I like to go on vacations. Ugh 😫

i'm going through a change myself I won't be 40 till next year but i will be starting my degree in sociology and criminology this September, the job i want to either go into is either youth services or something to do with immigration this means i will have to move to a bigger city than where i live now but i have 3 years to plan this next step, also i wouldn't move before my youngest finished high school which would be in 4 years times as live in the UK and i have found the perfect school for him so wont change his schools now. changes have to happen i do believe that to progress through life

I hope things work out for you and your family. 🫶I know you were struggling with feeling settled living there. 🏡 I would suggest settling down before girls start high school so they can graduate with friends. Looking forward to your family’s Disney trip. 🏰 🧚🏿

💎 I agree less house is freeing financially 🩷
