Every so often, usually when out driving, that "If I had a million dollars" song pops up on shuffle, and every so often I think about what I'd actually do
( Read more... )
While we're dreaming, more house stuff that I have on my "to defer" (possibly forever) list: - Sheds! A woodshed and a Reeds Ferry shed. - A really nice jungle gym out back - Slate floors in the sunroom and mudroom (with radiant heat!) - A fireplace insert, and some sort of stove for heat in the sunroom - A deck off the sunroom, over the slanty part of the yard - Really nice exterior house and yard lights (with granite posts) - An eco-friendly health-friendly sectional sofa - Nice TV / surround sound setup in the basement for movies - Cosmetic work - first the living room, and eventually pull down all the wallpaper that was painted over and paint properly - Replace the front door, and eventually the garage door - Revise all of the crazy electric stuff and stop the crazy pinging of the heating system - Get propane so we can have a gas stove (I don't care too much, but I know others do) - Really nice pots and pans and dishes. And a Vita-Mix.
Yeah. My first instinct is always "I'm goin' to Disney World!" But I think that's from being bombarded about that after every sports championship. I would pay off my house and put away money for college and other kid things. And probably buy another house where the area doesn't suck so much. Too much practical stuff. I don't need a pony or a mansion on the Cayman Islands. Just stuff to make my life less stressful.
That's pretty much what my reply was going to be. Good to know M & I are on the same page. ;)
Ideally, a new house would be in a safer neighborhood, have a yard big enough for the kids to play in, and have more and better space for storage, art/crafting, and gaming.
