Lately, I have been really tired of being poor! I know money isn't everything, but sometimes it would be nice to do things on a whim instead of thinking about the budget. Living on student loans doesn't give you many opportunities for doing fun things just for the heck of it. I don't even need a million dollars, maybe just $20,000. I just don't like feeling stressed or guilty for spending money, even groceries. Bryan is working hard at school and someday his hard work will pay off then I won't have to worry about this as much. As for right now, here are a few things I would do if I had more money.
- I would buy tickets to a Boston Red Sox game and take my family over Bryan's summer break.
- I would hire a babysitter to come every Friday night, no matter what, to watch my kids so that Bryan and I could have a date night.
- I would buy a wall cabinet for my bathroom so that the stuff that is being stored on the floor could be up and out of sight.
- I would take myself shopping and buy a summer wardrobe. Now that it's warm I am realizing that I have nothing to wear!
- I would buy a new couch because the one we have is getting beat up and it kind of stinks!
- I want to take the Amtrak train to NYC and take my girls to the Central Park Zoo and the FAO Schwartz toy store. They would have so much fun.
- I would take Bryan to the shoe store and let him pick out any pair(s) of shoes he wanted. He love shoes!
- I have always wanted nice family pictures so I would find a really good photographer and get those done.
I don't want to sound greedy, but that's my list of things I want to do. They will probably never happen, not soon anyway, but I can dream! I guess I am learning patience, right?! I'm not sure why I posted something about this, but it has been on my mind lately so I thought I would write about it for my journaling purposes!

Amen is all I have to say --except my list would be a little different.
I get really tired of waiting for "someday" too!
I like you every Friday night babysitter. I would put that on my list too!
love it Nat! I definitely have my "if I had a million dollar list" in my head....maybe in like 20 years it can come true...maybe not a million, but enough to splurge every now and then:) at least you have two years of med school down...I'm excited to get started:) Love ya!
That is a great list! "someday" we will have money! Or at least paying debt off instead of racking it up!
I am getting more impatient for "someday" too! I completely agree with you. When it does finally come, I think we are going to deserve everything good that comes our way. Our husbands have worked hard and so have the wives! I never used to think of myself as a "Gold-Digger" woman... but I've realized the truth. Oh well, at least I'm not in denial anymore. :)
I hear ya! I love your list, I think mine would include some of the same things. I know money doesn't buy happiness, but I think it sure helps!! :)
Greedy?? Now my list would be greedy. It is so hard not to always be thinking about money with the gas prices and everything else going higher and higher. I know alot of people with alot of money and it is so true money does not bring happiness. But I agree it sure makes life alot easier and stress free.
