Our goals hmm...good question. Mine is to work and stash as much as possible at this age, to learn enough about travel hacking to subsidize at least some of the international trips that we love to take, and to continue to care for my very elderly relative throughout the end of life. This last item is where we run into most of our constraints, as she needs a lot of care, but is still in very good mental health and has lots of strong opinions! This is something that we have taken on 100% by choice, and although it limits our freedom to move around and make certain financial decisions, it is just about the best thing (and sometimes the hardest thing) I have ever done, besides marrying my awesome spouse. His goals are to find a better paying job (and/or one he doesn't hate, as he does his current job), and to save and build wealth for flexibility, but he is only just starting to break his previous spending habits and think differently. He would also like to go back to school for his master's, although we are just starting to look into this. We are both military vets and someday would like to live abroad for a few years (Europe, a couple of specific places in Asia or the Middle East being our top choices, not necessarily in that order). We have no debt, but up until two years ago, no real savings either. In short, after said relative is no longer with us, we feel like the world will be our oyster, and we will go wherever we feel the wind blow us. Our other focus right now is on selling and donating stuff so that we don't have a lot of junk to move or put in storage etc.. ack!) once that day hits. I have thought about starting a journal of my own, but have hesitated because (a) I am a little private and nervous about posting things online about my life and (b) I can't honestly say that either of us are very mustachian, and although we've come a really long way since I found the blog, I am not sure I am ready to open myself up to all the punches. :)
