Living the dream.…what does that mean?

While we all have a men­tal image of what that is for each one of us, for me it’s more about freedom.

Your prob­a­bly ask­ing your­self, ” Freedom.…what does she mean?”

As some­one liv­ing in Amer­ica in the 21st cen­tury I prob­a­bly have more free­dom than a lot of folks around the world. Yes it’s true I am for­tu­nate to be able to work, live, eat, vaca­tion, drive, shop, etc… when­ever and wher­ever I choose. And it’s great! But that is not what I mean. No, to me “Liv­ing the Dream” is more about Time Free­dom.

The time to do the things I’m pas­sion­ate and inter­ested in. The time to pur­sue new inter­ests while still liv­ing fairly well. I’m not drink­ing my cof­fee with my pinkie stick­ing up nor do I drive the lat­est and great­est car, but what I do have is a rel­a­tively easy going lifestyle. Sure, I’d like to get a new car every two years, but the car I have now works great. It’s a trooper and still going strong. Now why would I get rid of some­thing that has given me faith­ful ser­vice all these years? As a mat­ter of fact I’m about to hand over the keys to my son.

But, I digress. To me liv­ing the dream involves sev­eral things.
