So the last two weeks Hubby has proposed a bit of spit ball plan. I love his half planned plans when he shares them with me. Now I know it sounds like I’m about to block his idea, but frankly it’s brilliant his plan. Now it’s me taking the idea and running it through my processing plant, aka my brain.
So what is his idea you ask? Well we have a pretty hot to trot property market at the moment and frankly were we live is idyllic. The big old home on a nice size bit of land overlooking a river that always runs. Also we are 20 minutes from the CBD of our town. The best of both worlds.
When we purchased this place I thought “yes, are forever place!” But alas, probably not. However if we got good money for our place we would be debt free. I could live the permaculture life I hoped I could have done on our river. Instead I would live it at our bush block.
Hubby made excellent points around “well what are we doing it all for?” And frankly he’s right. I’m currently stressed beyond belief with teaching. I’m tired of working with people who constantly need their ego stroked so the rest of the team I work with can move forward. I’m tired of the “politics” of work. And hubby is tired of dealing with the public.
Why not show our boys all the possible ways they could live their life. Our oldest boy can not wait to be independent. He already is independent but at 16 with no car licence and not able to enter any legal contracts makes living independent hard. He has clear goals around buying his own house. He wants to be finically secure and independent and live his life.
Hubby and I also have many different creative pursuits we would like to tackle as well. How awesome would it be to only be in our 40’s financially secure in all that we do and pursue our hobbies. Hobbies which can and have made us money. Nothing huge in the money stakes but enough to give our imagination flight.
Have you thought about what you would like to do if you didn’t have to work? We certainly have and in the next 2 years we will take that leap of faith. I can’t wait!
