Is it normal to start all over in your thirties?

Long story short, this year I have Meghan Markled my job,my marriage has ended, and I am starting a degree course.

I am living in a small house with no running water, no bathrooms and no toilet (it's in a rural area) and sleeping on a couch. I barely have money and my son is staying with his dad because there's no place for him to sleep here.

Writing all this makes my situation seems so much worse than what I had thought. And yes, I have unpaid bills and yet I feel like I am reconnecting with myself spending all this time alone.

I am trying to grow vegetables to make a living but I have not make any money yet from this.

I do not know if I am crazy or if there are other people who do drastic choices like mine?

    It is only after we hit "rock bottom" and know true despair do we find it within ourselves to change. Don't set lofty goals for yourself, but instead, focus on making incremental improvements to your situation.

    You need to create a series of habits that will set you up for success.

    Yes, it's actually fairly normal to have to start over in your 30's or 40's.

    Actually most of the people who achieve great things - only achieved them after having to start over. Their "mid life" crises gave them the kick in the butt to get their act together and do something with their life.

    I suggest you read the book: "The Masterkey To Riches" by Napoleon Hill.

    Also a more modern book that is packed full of fantastic advice about how to become successful (and anything):
    "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy (publisher of Success Magazine).

    You have a great life ahead of you... if you want one and are willing to pursue it...

    Go for it!

    I lived in similar conditions for 5 years but I never quit my job. You dont wanna quit a job unless you have another one.

    I changed careers and moved to a new state when I was 37.
