What would your dream life look like?

In a perfect world, I would like to be married to a wonderful man who is tall, handsome with a good sense of humour. I’d like him to have his own business in some kind of trade/something practical, which would mean he’d always have work but could manage his own time and take a decent amount of time off for holidays.

I want to work in a similar company to where I am now but in a more senior position and to be able to work part time. I’d like to be one of those people with swishy hair who always looks put together and has lovely clothes.

I want to live in a detached house with a large kitchen/diner/living room and a separate lounge and an office/study. A big garden with lots of sun that isn’t overlooked by neighbours and feels safe/secure. It would be fab to live a short walk from some nice shops/cafes/restaurants but not in the middle of a city.

I don’t want children but I would like to have a few cats and be able to go on holidays a few times a year. Generally I want a stress free, comfortable life.

What would your dream life be like? Note that this dream life is different to my fantasy life where I live on a Greek island and sing Abba songs all day!

I'd remove my husband's mental health issues and give him a greater sex drive. I'd like a home with a balcony, a roof terrace, amazing views, with a forest and the ability to swim somewhere every day. I'd like the shops/cinema/restaurants without being in a city too. And with some extended family living nearby. I'd also like a sense of purpose, leading to a meaningful job which I go to three or four days a week (plenty of long weekends). And for my children to have the same sense of purpose. I'd like to be respected and to have more close friends. That's about it🤔

I'd like to pay off my mortgage and have enough money to stay at home with the kids, nothing too extravagant, maybe a meal out here and there and the odd holiday.

I’d like to own a campsite. I have loads of ideas to make it fabulous- just need the right location and a bit of cash!

I will marry my DH. We will stay in our current house, I like it and the location is nice, we just get it done. DD won’t have additional needs. Actually I would trade everything for this including DH, house and all my relatives.

I'd like to live on a bustling market town far away from here

But...elderly mum, 2 dc in education, dhs work..

Ideally in 5 years I'd like to move. It's not going happen without a lottery win

It would be to live by the sea in Cornwall in a house with a garden so I could have my dream dog, a border collie. A huge change from living in a tower block. I’d love to own a tea rooms and spend my days baking scones and cakes for it, maybe with a twist and make it all gluten/nut free.

I've pretty much got my dream life (house by the sea on a Greek island with cats) but would just like a bit more money. And a partner who doesn't live with me but will happily weed the garden, fix my car and wash the windows 😁

I would like to have enough money to be able to buy my own home, nothing fancy just something comfortable I could call my own. I’d also like to meet a partner to share my life with and make happy memories along the way. I would also like to see all my friends and family happy and settled in their lives I couldn’t ask for any more than that.

Like my life right now but with a self cleaning house or live in housekeeper. Actually I might need a bigger house to house the housekeeper...

Also in my dream life my mum doesn't have chronic health conditions and the government aren't abhorrent arseholes.

Keep on dreaming then hey?
