Tell us about the one luxury
item you wish you could afford, in as much detail as you can. Paint a picture
for us.
The first thing that came to mind is a Vitamix. We watched a demonstration of this latest,
greatest $600 mixing machine at Costco a few months back and even my son tried
the green vegetables blended into a creamy Dixie cup of yumminess. Also, it would take some of the burden off of
my husband coming home and cooking entire meals for his family every night…it’s
such a complete meal making machine even I can use it to make delicious
tortilla soup, green smoothies, and more. J Although, I have to say this is
not necessarily a luxury item I can’t afford. We have bought more expensive
items and used our savings to pay for them, but it’s something I can’t bring
myself to “afford” at this point in our lives.
So, if I am perfectly honest, the ONE LUXURY item I wish I could afford
would be a home on a river with a view of the mountains on a few acres of land
close to the best schools for my son and my husband’s and my places of
work. We did recently see a place close
to what we would like in the small town of Tenino not too far from where we
live now, and it was on a river with 4-5 acres of fenced land surrounding it,
and with the shop my husband so needs and wants (in fact it was TOO MUCH of a
shop), but it’s a little too far from my son’s school and our work places (or
mine, specifically) and more than anything, it was not within our budget. I wish it was, and maybe that’s something we
can aspire to….something we can save our money to be able to purchase something
in the future, land we can build and retire upon and have a place for
ourselves, our children, grandchildren, and pets to roam and enjoy nature.
