When Success Feels Like Failure
What happens when you follow all the rules and still end up miserable? Elizabeth Willard Thames collected every credential society promised would bring happiness-college degree, stable job, engagement ring, city apartment-yet found herself slumping at her desk, toggling through repetitive tasks, wondering how she'd survive forty more years of this. Her life had become an exhausting cycle: Monday through Friday trapped in a gray cubicle, weekends spent dreading Monday's return. Sound familiar? Most of us recognize this treadmill, yet few dare to step off. Elizabeth and her husband Nate did exactly that, achieving financial independence before thirty-three and moving to a 66-acre Vermont homestead. Their journey wasn't about winning the lottery or inheriting wealth-it was about rejecting the consumer culture that keeps us working jobs we tolerate to buy things we don't need.
