I mean, we sure do work, spend time and money for ourselves.. buy things and stuffs, learn new things, get a hobby... travel even... but is there something that you have been wanting to do for yourself and you just can't seem to get around to doing it?
Like, say for me.. i have always wanted to learn macros, build programs using excel sheets and stuffs.. i like this and it can be related to my work too but i just never seem to have the time to actually do this!
Another is travel... i have always wanted to travel, see places, enjoy... and then i have constraints... i cannot find the money to accomplish this...
Best of all - i wanted to be carefree, live one day at a time.. let tomorrow worry on ITS own.. but i can't. i just can't quit my job because i need to provide for my family.. i can't quit my job and have to endure the work, the people even if sometimes i feel sooo low or like a maid... i can't just say im giving up because i need the payment... =(
oh geesh... now im ranting...
Would you have anything to share?

I want to have enough money so that I can travel without worrying about the expenses. Also, I want to live alone and independently because I haven't done that yet. I also want to jet ski again. Also, I want to visit the pyramids in Egypt and travel Europe.

That is my goal too; have enough money and be able to buy things without looking into my purse to see if I can afford it! I want to be able to travel and experience the four seasons. I want to be able to set up an old folks home because the ones in my country is in terrible shape. Yes there is a lot of things we can do with money. Some say that money is the root of all evil, but I say misuse of money is the root of all evil!

There is a lot of things that I want to do that I haven't done yet. For example, I want to go visit a lot of the countries; I want to try a lot of water sports. I hope I could get to do all these before I get too old...

I have a lot of things in my life that I have been wanting to do, but it seems that I never find the money, the time nor the courage to do it. I want to try for the certificaiton exam in my field, but I'm afraid of failing it. I also want to travel and to live away from home but there are a lot of money constraints. Also wanted to volunteer more, but I guess time is an issue.. although, sometimes I think I am just making up excuses for myself and I'm just too lazy to do it. LOL. Hopefully one day, I would cross those items out of my bucket list.

I have read an illness is a manifestation of an imbalance of energy in the body, usually caused by stress. Do you practice meditation? I occasionally do and I feel that it helps. I really am sorry to hear you are not well. Do try the basic meditation technique of just sitting silently, empty your mind of all else. The body is inbuilt with a blueprint for health and it can cure itself if given the chance. Hope this advice helps. God bless!

As for me, I wanted to pursue and finish my Psychology degree. But, I am unable to finish it because of insufficient funds. Same thing with my desire to travel. It is really frustrating because I can't do such for the same reasons. Though, I believe I can do these things eventually or in the future.

Oh yes, to research for our Family Tree and make a scrap or record book for our own family. For others this is a simple thing to do but for me i still could not find time to do this because of my busy schedule in the office.

Hello Chiyosan
,
If there is still something I wanted to have is GAMES, it's been a while since i started playing games in the PC. last time it was a simulator war fare but the PC crashed again and my brother was forced to use a different OS to have the PC at least immune to other viruses. for the moment, i haven't had any. but the trouble is that i don't have games and i missed it very badly.
i don't like to travel since i don't have money. if i did, i'd rather have a house.

Well, i want my husband and i to travel and have a vacation. But i cannot just yet, because our money is for the schooling of our only daughter. She has yet to take medicine for 5 years more.
I wish we really could travel after she has finished schooling.

hello:
sure i do, in fact a lot! but i haven't done even a single one like changing my attitude towards life coz i easily get disappointed when things didn't happen like the way i want it to happen... another one is to have my savings, it's just so hard to save this days because of the prices in the market that's so not affordable..

Yep, I'd want to venture into extreme sports such as rappelling, bungee jumping, and wind surfing which would somehow help me conquer my fear and enjoy while I do it!

Yeah, I know what you saying, and My point is that, people should do that, make new hobbies every year I don't know, because I get bred doing the same things like forever... Like routines, wake up in the morning,washing theets, Take a shower, go eat, do Homework, go to school, I get bored And I do different things at the same time, OS I never Do the same, every day I'll do new tjings that are interesting.

Yes chiyosan, I do have a list of things I would like to do before I "expire". The main thing is to travel and visit my daughter who is studying overseas on a scholarship. I am a stay at home mom, and do not have a fixed monthly salary. However I do have a business which I can do in my free time. It required $250 to start off with. Some of my friends average $10-20 per day. So far I am accumulating about $5 per day since I just started. It is my belief that you cannot get rich working for people on a fixed monthly salary. In your case perhaps you could do research on multilevel marketing or some online business which you can do in your free time. These will add on to your current salary and one day you will have your wish. What the mind can conceive and believe, it will achieve!
