Dreams and Aspirations-What are they???

Just chatting through a different thread and someone told me to focus on my dreams:

My dream includes earning £23-£27k per year. Maybe 2-3 years time?
Having another beautiful baby. Pref a boy. Again in 2-3 years time.
Having a renault megane scenic or Peugeot 308 cc. (I know which one is more practical he he) 5-8 years away
Having a nice 4 bedroomed house out the way of my family, with all my debts cleared and only the company of my husband and the 3 kids. 10 years away.

And most importantly of all, being happy and financially secure.

What about everyone else. What are your dreams and aspirations?

    Get a job that I enjoy and is resonably well paid
    Get my back fixed - it's been hurting since May and I can't wait to be pain free.
    Save up for a trip to Australia (next year)
    Go to Paris (this year)
    SAve up for new rental deposit (this year)
    Save up for a mortgage deposit (a couple of years)

    I think this lot will keep me busy for a wile yet - and that's not including the driving lessons,car, etc.

  • I dream of being able to work 9-5 in the job I am qualified to do instead of working nights every weekend because I need to extra to pay debts.
    I also dream of moving house to a nice 4 bed preferably a detached.
    I dream of having the cash I work for in my bank instead of paying banks and cc companies.
    I have a reasonably high salary to afford all these things if only I didnt have debt.
    Never mind, only 10 years for my dreams to come true.
    On the bonus my dreams 10yrs ago were to have 2 babies, a nice 3 bed home, and the career Ive always wanted and ive acheived all that so life isnt all bad.
  • I would like to double our income over the next 3 years.
    Move to a detached 5 bedroomed house with a garden all around it.
    Spend less time working and more time with the kids before they grow up and leave home.
    some money for holidays would be nice.
    time and money to have a social life.

    Well it may be ambitious, but that is my wish list!

    Move to Canada or buy a house both around 5- 8 years time just have to pay off debts and save up till then.

    Personally I would like to go back to work but I don't know how long this will take, may be when the kids go to school, may be sooner.
