I keep feeling like I wanna flog the house and buy a farm. But I hate farm work, so I'd definitely need some farm hands to do it all whilst I just sit around making choons all day.
Money's changed you.
My parents used to know a couple who had a big camper van, not as big as some of those american things, but bigger than an old VW.
They would spend their summers parked up in Exmouth (and probably one or two other towns in the area) and then when it started to get cold they'd drive to Portugal for the winter.
That's funny Dave. I wanted to respond with "what money!?! lol" and then just leave it there, but actually I think this deserves a serious response.
To my mind, positivity and working hard and building a life for myself has changed me. I was close to topping myself when I was 18. Lot of ups and downs in the last 18 years, and a lot of two steps back one step forward kind of action, and a lot of self analysis and reflection and planning, and scrubbing plans, and getting my hair off at not achieving, and then regrouping and replanning, and then being thrown curve balls and having to deal with them.
But I'm in a good place right now. The wife isn't working full-time since being made redundant because of covid. Money isn't super tight, we're not living day-to-day. But we've had to tighten our belts. She went off and got a part-time cleaning job whilst she figures out what she wants to do. She's scrubbing a multi-million quid penthouse apartment in central London today. Now those people have money!!
Not despairing and deliberately forcing myself to think in positive ways despite my natural inclinations, coupled with a supportive wife, has been at the root of my thinking for the last 5 years. When I found out the wife was pregnant, I was terrified. I could've bolted. We even talked about breaking up and her moving to Japan. I was really struggling to handle it. But I stepped up to the plate, gave myself a talking to, and I'm where I am at.
I don't have money. I have a mindset. That's basically what I wanted to say.
Just a pipe dream
