Ideal Life

I was thinking this morning about life styles and what I want mine to be like by the time I am in my mid to late 30's. Here is what I came up with but I am sure things may change a little if I were to discuss this with Mandi.

First and foremost I would like to live close to the coast. 50 miles or closer would do it. I love the vastness of the ocean. If fells like the world goes on forever when I'm standing on the beach.


I hope to have a job teaching at a university and writing articles for different publications.

The house I would like to live in doesn't have to be very big at all. Just comfortable and in a nice area with low crime and trees.


The perfect family car would be a Volkswagen Bus. A Volkswagen Beetle or Karmen Ghia would be great commuter cars. A motorcycle would help save on gas.


For pets I want two dogs so they can play together. Dogs help boost morale and provide a sense of security.

Kids will come. 1, 2, maybe 3. We will see.

To top it off I will need a couple of surfboards. Surfing will take care of much of my exercise and help me spend time with my family. Catching a wave gives me the feeling of freedom.
