Change is really hard for a lot of people, though, so I understand how hard it is to start doing something different. However, I think anyone can at least initiate a change within themselves and see where it goes from there.

I like your replies to that type of person because it is encouraging yet short. I have mistaken way to many insincere desires as sincere and spent a lot of time e-mailing them with facts, info and encouragement. Turns out they didn’t want or need it and I wasted a lot of my time. Thanks for the article!

Is it bad if my dream life is to make millions of dollars while having fun, and then retire early and then go to Mexico and everywhere else?

I wouldn’t say that I’m good at planning…I tend to figure out things on the way. We do have a website of our own (outside of our blog) that is due out soon and we’re planning on using that to generate income.

Either way, we’re keeping our options open, so who knows what might be a revenue source one year from now.

What’s funny is that when people talk of “dream lives,” it most often involves travel. I definitely plan on seeing the world and taking trips, but anything more than a month for me would be too much. I do plan on moving to Europe, eventually, but as a more permanent thing… As in, taking the cars with me.

At any rate, there isn’t much holding us back but the money and the space. The logistics of us moving three cars cross-country in a few months sucks, and we want to add a fourth in the next few years. Certainly not easy, but absolutely worth doing in my opinion.
