Dreams and Goals

 

Here are some of my dreams and goals (in no particular order) I’m trying to accomplish. Some of them are silly. Some of them are outright insane. Some are just mine, and some me and my wife share together. And some are rather simple.

Incidentally, not all of them have revolve around personal finance or investing although this is the main subject of my little blog. At the same time, if we ever get to financial independence status, achieving them might become a little bit easier.

  • I like your list of goals! 🙂 What part of Russia does your extended family live in? My husband has family in Russia and Ukraine. We would love to go visit them and experience more of those countries, but he wants us to achieve (what you wrote as) goal #4 before setting off.
