Independently Wealthy

Today I was approached by one of my members who said to me, "I heard that you are leaving us." I laughed at her and said, "Yeah right, if I were independently wealthy I would leave and stay home with my kids. But I'm not so I won't"

This got me thinking... if I were independently wealthy what would I do with my life. I know that I would stay home with my kids but I also know that I would still have my Mom come help me because she is the organized one and keeps my house in ship shape condition.

I think I would have to work in some capacity. Whether that be making more of my Mary Kay or Creative Memory business I could do that or I think that I might have to help with some sort of issue. I don't know what that issue would be but something. Or I might go volunteer at my church. I like the people there and it might be fun to help out.

If I were independently wealthy I would travel. A LOT!!! I think I would spend K-6th grade with my kids traveling the whole United States. I would home school them and travel to all the states see all there is to see and learn all that we could learn. I don't know how I would do this travel because Don could not fit in an RV but if we could have a custom made bus, like a rock star, I might be able to do this. Wouldn't that be neat...

I would have the house of my dreams with the biggest kitchen known to man. It would have storage space and room for at least 30 to sit and have Thanksgiving Dinner. I would have a separate living space for my Mom so she could help us during the day and then have her own "place" at night.

I would have more children. I have at least two more names that I would like to name kids but I'm too old and we're not independently wealthy so I won't chance it.

Well it's fun to think about what I would do if we were independently wealthy BUT we're not SO I will continue to go to work every day and work as hard as I can until I am independently wealthy and can do the things I want to do.
