I share your feelings of retirement and not wanting to have huge debt over your head when the day finally arrives. <br />You have really come out on top this month by actually having money left over. You also did have a lot of extra expenses so you really did do a fantastic job.

From the time I left home at age 20 I've lived in apartments, duplexes etc til I was 36 and was able to buy the condo I currently live in. So to have the freedom and the space to run around in, a forest to wander through, a huge bamboo patch with a pathway through it, incredible views of the bay, forests, farmer's fields - well, it just doesn't get any better than that!Jharrison56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-62244422315891860042012-02-26T08:33:47.686-05:002012-02-26T08:33:47.686-05:00Heehee!

I'm not there yet and I am very aware of all the things that could potentially go wrong but I'll stay positive and having Michael now to share it with helps give me confidence. I think the success of my dream is that it's realistic - my farmhouse is not fancy and it's not expensive. I read an article in a newspaper this morningabout women wanting to have it "ALL", but "ALL" means different things to different women. Some want houses in different cities, world travel, cruises, mink coats, fabulous jewelry, whereas "ALL" to me means living near the ocean, having a bit of land to call my own, having a workshop to create in, having strong relationships, a bit of travel, love in my life, a front porch on which to watch the sunrise, beaches to explore.Sounds like a good topic for a post!!Jharrison56noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-91162164413054886792012-02-26T08:22:17.763-05:002012-02-26T08:22:17.763-05:00Anything is possible - I had a dream and have stuc...Anything is possible - I had a dream and have stuck with it.
