Rod Dreher, the "Crunchy Con", talks about hitting the wall (perhaps literally and figuratively?).
I don't know very many people who wouldn't "amen" this article. Aaron and I would. We want to make changes now so that we don't have to deal with a family in poor health and unhappy hearts. We're praying about how to fashion our life so that we have time to live and truly enjoy it. That would mean very practical things, among them are: changing careers (in a way-outside-the-box sort of way), becoming debt-free and financially secure, eliminating clutter in our home, carefully choosing outside activities, having more people in our home, disciplining ourselves to work hard and enjoy the fruit of our labors. Who knows what else? We're only 25. We only know what we want the end to look like - how to get there? Hmm...
Ideas from wisdom and hindsight are always welcome here.

I generally find that there is a significant trade off between changing to a career you love and getting out of debt / being financially secure (at least doing so soon). Jobs that offer high financial rewards are usually the jobs few want to do. So that's a tough call.
Having more people in our home is something I think would be good for us, although our current housing unit isn't quite designed for dinner parties.
