Life has been very busy lately and I have been very bad about updating the blog. Christmas with the family was good and it was fun to drive around in the snow. I managed to pay off my car, unfortunately I had to total it out to do so. So buying a new car didn’t help me much towards the goal. I’ve had some fun adventures lately, off to Italy and Turkey and the summer travel is starting to ramp up. I should be another jet setting year.
So how am I doing pushing towards the goal? That is tricky; I have had some issues lately that have been a big money and time sink so it is getting hard to focus strongly on that goal right now. The housing market has been very slow to recover in my area, so I won’t be flipping the house anytime soon. I won’t be building up the mountain home without unloading the current abode. So, on the road to retirement I’m kind of stuck in a rut…
The funny thing is I have been really busy with work and exercise and adventuring around the outdoors, so I’m not too bummed about my goal sliding. While there are ups and downs at work, traveling is the best part of the job and I’ll get to see some interesting places this summer. I have a couple of more months before the drama in my life concludes and I should be finished with the three sites I’m working on so my current goal is just enjoy myself, catch up on my Cisco certifications, brush up on my Spanish, save a little bit when I can and work on a great plan for 2011.
What is the great plan for 2011? I don’t know, that is a long ways away… There are new options for get rich quick schemes overseas, the mountain land should be paid off so construction may begin on something and who knows perhaps with Italy as an inspiration Albuquerque may be introduced to a new gelato business.
