To ask your BIGGEST dream in life?

[PaddleBoardingMomma]

One day, a few years from now, I want to be making a living fully independently and self sufficiently. Spending my days on the beach, on the water, my evenings making jewellery to sell. A quiet simple life! I don't have dreams of mega bucks or a lavish lifestyle, just enough to get by and be happy.

What's your biggest dream? Is it within reach? A pipe dream? Are you already living your dream?

My hope for this thread is to encourage people to go for what will make them happy, and offer advice on how to reach their goals if you can!

I agree with IDontDrinkTea

I want to be old, still married to DH and with children whowantto visit me. As in they come to visit because they enjoy being here, not because they feel they have to out of duty. And I’d love grandchildren who feel the same although I’m aware that having grandchildren or not is not down to me

I have spent the last 10 years getting the job and the house, getting married having the babies. Now mine are a little older I just want to enjoy them. Travel with them, take them on day trips, spend time together.

I don't need to be super weathly, but I would love to have good health and a good standard of living in my later years. I would also like to be in a position to be able to help my kids out financially if they desperately needed it.

So for now my dreams are just to enjoy my kids childhood and try to get the balance right between investing for the future and enjoying money today.

Biggest dream is to have a book published, win loads of prizes and made into a film and me bathing in cash.

That is exactly my dream.

This for me too. I had a sad, lonely childhood and all I ever really wanted was a proper happy family

To have two healthy children and a long healthy life with them and my DH.

I want a second home, a little cottage about an hour from where we live to go to on the weekends for some clearer air.

My own business that lets me work part time yet pays enough to still maintain my current lifestyle.
Retraining in horticulture and time to work in my garden and grow my own.
Live each day without depression and anxiety.

To move to the US, probably the North West- not because it's a better place or anything like that (I know very well it's got its challenges) but because I really wanted to when I was younger and would have had the opportunity to. I let other people decide for me, life got in the way and I feel I never fought for what I truly wanted. It bothers me more as I'm getting older and it has come out especially strongly during this last lockdown. It's a mountain to climb but not entirely impossible so I'm working on it one day at a time!
