A few things I want to do...some to make money...some are just goals....the last one will improve my life in every way. How do I make the time/money to accomplish them with my everyday life in the way (work, school, kids, etc)?
Tour the country by motorcycle (and make $$ some way doing it). Need a touring cycle, $$ to pay for the trip, etc. I love riding my cycle. Just started last summer. Its the best stress relief I have found...I call it my therapy. Unfortunately I don't get to ride anywhere near as much as I would like to. Ultimately I would love to be able to make a living doing it since its what I enjoy very much. If anyone has a touring bike such as a Kawasaki Concours, Honda ST, BMW, or other mid sized touring cycle and would be interested in a barter/trade/giveaway/whatever let me know. Getting a bike like this is the first step in making this happen. The bike I currently have (1992 Suzuki VX800) is good for around town riding and fun, and was great to learn on, but is in no way a touring bike. I'm trying to figure out how to move up to one of these other bikes since I don't have the cash right now to buy one outright. I have lots of ideas for making some income from this goal though.
Learn foreign languages (tagalog, chinese, german, spanish, ?)
Become an expert in computers/networking/website development and make money working for myself doing it (just started school for A+ cert and MCSA/MCSE cert). The first steps in my new career! Want the ability to work from anywhere in the world.
Become debt free.
Travel the world and stay as long as we want because would be self employed (Philippines, China/Asia, Europe, New Zealand/Australia, Canada).
Travel North America living in a 5th wheel trailer (and make money from it in some way). Check out :

Shows an example of a couple preparing for this. I never thought to use a modified semi-truck as a tow vehicle until I found sites such as theirs. Very informative.
Regain my mental, physical, and spiritual health. All 3 have fallen in major disrepair over the last 5 years or so as job and life stress has significantly increased. I'm at the boiling point now and desperately need to change, but its hard to get the energy and motivation to start on any of them. Always tired, depressed, sick, etc. I hoping thr career change will reduce/eliminate my job stress, which in turn will give me more energy and uplifted spirit (i.e. reduced depression) to start working out and eating right to get in better physical shape, which will significantly improve the other 2 areas even more since the body is the foundation and battery for everything else. I just can't seem to get started on the eating right/working out part, no matter how hard I "will" myself to want it. School just started, so maybe after I can make the career switch this will help boost me up.
