Eric's Story
Life
At the end of 2003, my partner and I quit our jobs, sold our apartment in Manhattan and moved to a small cottage on Chincoteague Island. I work part-time as a copy writer and marketing consultant and Greg, my partner, is going back to school to get a masters. We've been together for almost 20 years now.
Since leaving the corporate world, life is more like I dreamed it could be. I usually start my day with an hour of yoga. I have one room in the house dedicated just for that. I've got a small garden where we...Expand for more
grow all of our own herbs and some vegetables. We live just a few mintues from Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, home of the wild ponies. I usually go there once a day for a walk in the woods or along the beach. In the off season you can often walk for an hour along the beach and not see another person.
After twenty years of feeling that I needed to earn more and more money to be happy, we live very happily on a small fraction of our former income. I have learned to appreciate the value of non-material things.
