Ambitions

My start-up money for my business is on the way. Should be here at the end of the week. I took a bit of a gamble with my future, but if it pays off the way I think it will, I'll be rewarding myself tenfold.

I want to be independent. I want to work when I want to work, and be a bum when I want to be a bum. I want my job to not be a job, but a path that reflects my god-given talents. I want my child to have his college paid for already. I want to be wealthy enough when he's older to get him a nice car and a down payment on a house for a wedding present. Yes, I am all about protecting my offspring from incurring debt when they begin their lives! No loans, no down payments, etc. It is not spoiling, it is giving them the opportunity to begin their adulthood the right way: debt free. Debt is a form of slavery. If my people could have done this for me, they would have. If I can do it for mine, I will. Each generation should be more successful than the next.

If I have planned my financial goals properly, my credit cards will be paid off by Christmas. I will be purchasing my first home this time next year at the latest. My major debts will be paid off in 2 years. Etc. etc. etc. Yes, folks, by the time I'm 30, I will be well on my way to wealth-building.

I may have big dreams but why dream at all if you aren't going to dream big? I'll keep you posted as things progress. In the meantime...

Cha-ching!
