5 things you want?

Re: 5 things you want?

1. a new car - hybrid import
2. a zoo - preferably near my home
3. time - 36 hour days, maybe (just for me, not everyone else)
4. film - all of Jackie Chan's (only the 50+ I don't already own)
5. money - enough to start my business

Re: 5 things you want?

If someone else is paying for them (a mysterious benefactor, for example ... don't we all wish):
1. Personal Chef
2. Housekeeper
3. Personal Assistant
4. Swimming Pool
5. Grand Duplex Suite on the QM2 81 day Maiden World Voyage (only $186K!!!)
These would impove my quality of life only if I did not have to pay for them myself.


If I am going to have to fork over the money myself:
1. Vegetable Garden
2. Braces for the hubby
3. A scooter (for when our older car dies and we go from two cars to one)
4. Occasional day at doggie day care for the pooch (once a month would be enough)
5. Funds in an account to pay for our nieces and nephews senior year of college (if they and their parents can manage the first 3 years, it would be nice to help them out in the home stretch).
The first 3 would improve our quality of life. The last 2 would just be nice to do.

Re: 5 things you want?

What do I want?
1. My health to stablize
2. To stop being so anxious
3 to solve my housing problem. I have a 2400 sq ft house that I really can't afford but am terrified of selling.
4. to be out of debt
5. a new (or another) computer. This is sort of a half want half need. Its probably a want since I can't decide

Would I be more satified. I suspect not. I am already a very happy, satified person despite the fact that this list sounds neurotic.

Re: 5 things you want?

Oh come on Ima - if we're going for it, let's go whole hog -
Happy, Young, Skinny, Beautiful, Smart and R.I.C.H.!!

edit: Ohhh shoot - that's six - okay leave off the beauty, if we're rich enough we can buy the beauty via our plastic surgeon we keep on retainer!!

Re: 5 things you want?

I'll assume everyone wants the Miss America answers (world peace, a cure for terrible diseases, etc.) so here's what I, personally, want.

1.) My emergency fund replenished
2.) My car funds complete
3.) Our student loans paid off
4.) Money to improve our home (painting, decorating, etc.)
5.) Really good cleaning service

Listing this out makes me actually feel pretty content, because nothing there seems impossible. It's just going to take some time!

Re: 5 things you want?

1. My mortgage paid off making us DEBT-FREE!!
2. Our retirement accounts to balloon up to 'never have to worry about enough ever again' amount. (One can dream, can't one???)
3. My basement emptied of all the extra clutter that's down there!
4. My house finished painted. We got the bottom painted ourselves. Need painter w/scaffolding/cherry-picker/sprayer/magic wand for second story, BEFORE winter sets in.
5. Father In Law's estate wrapped up so we can finally get to the grieving part!! I'm telling you folks this has been the absolute worst part of losing him and The Hubster becoming the executor! No time to grieve, just business/paperwork/personal effects to get done/rid of!! Hate it! My husband has had absolutely no time to just reflect on the love and companionship of his father that he no longer gets to enjoy.

Re: 5 things you want?

1. My family to be happy & healthy
2. To be debt free
3. To be able to send my kids through college.
4. Mortgage to be paid-off.
5. To be able to help other family members to be happy with themselves.

Good Luck to all!!

Re: 5 things you want?

1. an enjoyable job
2. a happy wife
3. happy kids
4. comfortable lifestyle
5. a home gym (with mirrors, all the eq I need, db rack, squat rack, great sound system, rubber flooring...)

1 causes 2 pretty consistently, 2 causes 3 and 4, 3 definitely has to do with 4, 4 enables 5, 5 promotes 2...

Re: 5 things you want?

1. A fully working time-machine so I could go back into my past and correct my mistakes (possibly creating new ones).

2. For the time-machine to be locked and no way to get into it. (All the so called mistakes got me where I am today and I don't want to correct 1 mistake if it changes my family period. I love my wife and 3 kids just the way we are!)



3. And 10 billion dollars in small unmarked, non-sequential bills.

What time is our jet leaving for Santorini??

Re: 5 things you want?

What time is our jet leaving for Santorini??

Our? That never crossed my mind! I suppose I would have room for 300 or so ladies to join me. If I had 1 female join the wife and I for this trip I am sure I would be alone and we would have only 5 billion left to spend.
