I don't really want to start a full-time business but on the other hand, I am only doing a little freelance work now which doesn't bring in much money so I decided that the fastest way to generate the cash needed to buy cruise and airline tickets was to get a job. Hopefully someone will call me!
I want to work as much as possible for the next six to eight months so that I will be able to save everything I earn for our travel. What I don't want to do is get a job and instantly inflate my lifestyle (like buying a lot of clothes, getting a fancy new cell phone, or {{horrors}} deciding that I really need to get a new car) which I am a little afraid of because, well, stuff like that happens when you suddenly have extra money.
Hopefully since I am so intensely focused on achieving these goals, however, I will be able to grow a giant savings account instead of squandering my money!
Some other things I have been thinking about:
- It would be nice to retire in an RV (not a boat as a boat is too small)
- If I did want to put a lot of effort into being self employed I would look into generating multiple profit centers.
- When--not if--I get to the UK I am going to do every one of these things!
I hope you find something great!
ReplyDeleteIf you do jobs that don't have pressure for you to appear wealthy, and you keep your goals in mind, you'll do fine. You went from spendthrift to thrifty frugalista and were able to dig your way out of debt and buy a home. I'm confident this will be a cakewalk for you. :)
