Things I wish I could do!!

**momof2joys** · 08-26-2008, 10:03 AM

I was just thinking this morning and decided that there are several things I want to be able to do, but I know that I can't do it right now!!

1. I would love to be a SAHM again, but right now that is just not work able. I am hoping by Christmas or even New Years I can start thinking about it again. We need the extra money to pay bills so for right now I am working. SOMEDAY........

2. I would love to be able to just get up and go, without having to worry about if I have gotten everything or not. I think this one will be easier when the ds and dd are a little older. Then I won't have to worry about packing extra diapers, wipes, the playpen, stroller, etc. SOMEDAY......

3. I wish that I could write a check tomorrow and pay off all my bills!! To be able to write thousands of dollars in checks would be great. I could be debt free in one day. Oh the life that would be!! SOMEDAY......

These are just a few of mine, how about anyone else!!

1.Well, everyone needs goals or dreams.

Yours seem bang on the money.

2.Now you need a plan.

Do you have a written budget? Do you know your debt? Have you started your plan, your EF, your snowball?

3.Then you need action to get it done.

You can make your financial life better but it takes hard work.

Why not start now?

I would love to now owe any money other then my morgage. That would be wonderful.

I would love to be able to live a more routined and clutterfree life.

First, welcome to the boards!

I was over run with "stuff" just this past year. Once I got rid of it I was so happy and I am still tickled with how easy my house is cleaned and how clear my head is and how happy I am in my heart.

There is ZERO standing between you and happiness--except your stuff and there is NOTHING that keeps you from changing your life and losing the lifes baggage.

You CAN do this!

I would love to be able to stop worrying about finances - I can cover my expenses and often make a little progress saving, but still feel like I'm on a tightrope with no net.

I would love to be able to dance without getting out of breath due to poor condition (out of breath due to response to a partner would be fun!)

I would love to be able to go to Austin and see my son and to Portland to see my sister and her family.

1. Pay off my credit card (plan is to get it done within the next 10 months)

2. Learn a new skill (I was thinking of either taking piano lessons or take some kind of dance class....neither something that I have done before)

I wish I could sew really well.

I wish I could find the time and especially the courage to pursue my dream of being an author. I'm hear you momof2joys... SOMEDAY

I wish that I could filter better; what comes to my brain, does NOT need to leave my mouth!

**momof2joys** · 08-30-2008, 10:46 AM

Oh, these are good!!

I thought of a couple others!!

I wish I would be able to get along with my in-laws and stand up to them when they are trying to control how my dh and I raise my step daughter.

I wish I could sew and make things for my kids, so we wouldn't have to buy so much for them.

I wish I could be able to really tell my boss what I think about her!! LOL!!!
