Greece, here i come. man girl...it's funny because every word you said up there. i feel like i'm in the same place. but not. it's an odd sensation. ha i miss you girl. <3
I feel like a lot of my emotions are general emotions, all of us can feel it even if in ways there are different situations. I feel like God allows to empathy towards emotions that we too all understand, even if not really.
odd sensation, it is<3
i really do miss you, my love. i listen to your mix ALL the time. i love you.
there is a new um.... not exactly sure of the word. ideal? that is going around. i have heard it from different sources at different times.
anyway it goes like this. since it is most likely when we get older the chances of any sort of government funded retirement happening are slowly decreasing many young adults are using debt in a creative way. basically what they do is go on an early retirement. for a few years they go on trip after trip. and just enjoy life to its fullest almost the way you would when you retire. they build up a significant debt doing this. and end up working for the rest of thier lives. but at least they can look back and say they were there and did that for the rest of thier lives. instead of waiting. and possibly never experiencing anything......
myself? i already took a year off work a few years back as a sort of mini-retirement. i didnt do much though..... sooooo..... i am planning to go on another mini-retirement in a couple years and actually travel places. and do things. yaknow?
ah that sounds kind of scary but it could work? i dont want to be in debt working for the rest of my life though like that, becuase I want to have children and a stable life one day and be able to have the luxuries of living comfortably.. and if i was to make a selfish decision to put mself in debt, itll effect my future, no? I would rather...work as hard as i could to build that money, spend it...and start over with a clean slate, than be in debt.
and when you go take your miniretirement in the future, bring me along! hehe
ya. but see.... everybody has debt. its just a matter of how much...
on average the typical debt is about 10 - 15,000. and yet i see people with mortgage loans on thier house for about 150,000 or more.... cars for about 20,000.... fancy funiture and other goods....
instead of buying a fancy car and having nice furniture and a house payment. i am going to spend some money on traveling. once i get my 10,000 or so debt payed off while i am still able to do it.....
anyway. its really a romantic idea. and once you have kids all the money you might have extra goes towards them. so if you are going to have fun. do it before you have them.....
and i will make sure to let you know when i go on vacation. or when i move. or whatever i end up doing. becoming a drifter? haha.
ah, well, i come from a mother who doesn't believe in 'debt'...i know that may sound funny, but tis is true. and she wont allow me to get into debt either. and ive been very lucky to be able to do so. she pays off all of her payments asap..never took out any loan. my moms credit is superb! but... so I really want to follow her lead and make sure I have enough money before i get any fancy car or furniture to get myself going in the real world, and i would never want to make a foolish decision to fall myselfinto debt. what i want to do is just be able to save up as much as i could and spend it all, start fresh without having to take any loans.. or get myself in any kind of rut. i would need to be responsible. i want to be smart with my money before i get stuck into anything i wouldnt want to be in. ya get me?
but yeah, def tell me all about your mix, and when youre moving, when you travel and so forth! im always interested
dude, i need to talk to you sometime. maybe a little reuninion on msn like old times? or freaking just call me! i know we can talk for hours, so when you have time...
calll meeeee. or get someone to drive you up to visit me...
dude, msn for real. well, im going to give you my phone number on one of your 'friends only' journals ..just in case, bc i dont want a stalker contacting me and pranking me or so forth, know what im saying? haha. but yeah, so ill do that. bc i would love a phone call from you and be able to catch up.. its been awhile.and i do believe i should be coming home soon, we need to fricken reunite
ah i know, i really want to. its freaking scray to just pack up and go... eep. but you know what, ill do it. no matter what. one day, sooner than not... <3 wish me luck!
it's a chance of a lifetime, really. cause like you say... before you know it you'll be married, have kids, have a career which also means no time for extended amounts of time for traveling. until you retire! so if you can do it soon, you should. what an amazing time you'll have.
