dreams

A lot of my posts are focused around how we are trying to save money, pay off all our debts, and set ourselves up for the future.

I'm not sure I've ever completely explained why we do what we do, why we live below our means, why we want to get all our debt paid off.

Alex and I have a few dreams for when we're done with all this.

1. Freedom. Freedom from debt, not feeling trapped or owned by the jobs that we do. Freedom to do what we want with our income, not just pay it all back to loans.

2. Saving. Saving for retirement, for kids (someday), for the someday kids' college, all the things we want to do in the future.

3. Vacation/Relaxation. We want to travel, see the world, you know. But we also want to be able to do things like visit our families on a regular basis, take frequent weekend trips, get out more in general.

Sometimes I need to remind myself what we're working towards to remind myself that it's worth the sacrifice now.
