Doesn’t that depress you more? Haha… there’s a LOT of stuff you can’t do with less money!

I’m concerned with the downside risk. I’m less focused on what I would be able to do once I have money, and more focused on what I’m currently unable to because I don’t. There is no one thing I want to do with the money I hope to save; but plenty I know I won’t be able to do without it.

I definitely need money so we can buy a house, go on vacations, pay off student debt and just have enough for extracurricular activities. I never really had the opportunity to make lots of dinero; hubby and I are hoping we can do so now with our new company. After switching careers and not working for two years and a half, I was able to find my first job. The pay was so-so but it was better than making zero dollars. Unfortunately, I felt the job was damaging my confidence and I just didn’t feel comfortable there anymore. I decided to give my two weeks notice and interestingly enough, bosslady decided to tell me not to return one week and a half in.

We wish the money would come quick enough but it does take time. We probably will break even in the next few years.

I want money so that I can travel. I save for other things too but my mad money always goes towards travel, especially this time of the year when I start to get cabin fever.

Yup! Exactly. I have A.D.H.D. too (without being on meds – that intensifies things! Haha…) and I agree it’s all about changing the use of time towards something that excites you and you’re passionate about over stuff you “have to do” for money. We’ll all reach that point at some time, but those who hustle hard now will be chilling there quicker ;)

Haha… At least you KNOW that it’s all a phase too – that’s where a lot of people get stuck. Thinking that it’ll “be this way” forever. It rarely is, for both the good and the bad. And I share your exact same mindset – hustle our asses off now and reap the rewards for years and years to come! Gotta work hard while we’re young and nubile ;)

Very very good outlook too – I like that… At the end of the day whatever motivates you to go out and rock it is a-okay in my books! Thanks for sharing your side of this :)

We all have different reasons why we want to have money. I agree with the security reason, not just for myself but for my whole family. I want them to enjoy their life while they are young.
