It's been hard.

I still haven't left behind some of the things I've planned to leave behind. Parts of my family are skeptical about some of my changes. My decisions will affect my wife and children, not only me. One positive thing will be a more happy me. One of the negative is probably less money. 

For me personally it's easy. My wellbeing is way more important than money.

Being happy, will probably give me extra energy. Extra energy will enable me to do what's needed to get back to the level of previous pay checks. All I need to do is to stick to the plan and convince my closest family that I've made the right choices.
