Wow, amazing goals, Andy! Reading this makes me think I should adjust my goals again. Having a huge horse ranch used to be a dream I had, but now I wouldn't mind just having a couple of horses again someday before I get too old...well, maybe a few horses, lol. Anything more would be too much for one person to take care of daily unless I could hire someone trustworthy enough to be there most days. They're a lot of work, so I'd definitely want to be completely done with my day job first, so my main goal right now is to make enough to replace that income each month.

I'd also love having enough money to fix up our old farm here and have a new house with an art studio, and a new barn for those horses, lol. We do have an old barn, which I'd also love to restore, but it's rather short in height for horses although it's what we used for them back when I was a kid. I'd like one with higher ceilings and more space for them. I guess the old one could be used for other animals which I'm sure we'd end up getting since my hubby wants pigs and maybe a couple of the miniature cows, lol.

Another reason I'd want to earn more is so my kids would have something when my hubby and I are gone...right now I have one living further away at an apartment she rents and my youngest is attending college and lives with us yet since rent is too high. It'd be great to know they'd be set financially once we're gone and possibly take over the little farm here if that's what they want by that time.

Anyways, that's just some of my dreams...I'm sure I could add more though. That RV looks pretty sweet, lol!
Same with the car!

I really like how you have broken down the costs for all of your dreams. It'll be a great way to figure out how much closer you are to your goals that way I'd think.

Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Best wishes on achieving all of your goals set out here!

Amazing idea! I had some things in my mind when I first started, but never put them as a visual like you. All things were just in my fantasy, some even crazy things.
Honestly, I need to rethink and make some kind of visual board, or the way you did it!
The other thing everyone always said - keep your dreams to yourself, if you tell anyone, they will never happen.

Thanks for sharing your dreams and goals! I appreciate the way you broken it down into sections and appreciate seeing the cost of these things. Kudos to you and hoping you have obtained these or at least some of your dream!
However, seeing scenarios like this with all this stuff and knowing myself...I DON'T want all this stuff. I prefer cash flow to just live comfortable and be a giver to people around me that are in need. I cannot take it with me so I do not want it. I wonder...does this affect my ability to build my dream!

Wow, Andy, what a vision! You had me at “horse ranch” and “mancave,” but then the Prevost RV and Mustang 500 GT sealed the deal. 😄

I love how you’ve broken the dream down into real numbers and actual, tangible milestones. It’s so easy to get swept up in “big goals” talk, but seeing the math and timelines makes it feel truly attainable—even if it’s a serious stretch goal!

Your transparency about what this lifestyle actually costs is super refreshing (and a good gut-check for all of us aiming high). I also appreciate the reminder that big dreams don’t just magically happen—they take time, grit, and plenty of re-calibrating along the way.

For me, the dream would be a small, eco-friendly home base tucked in the forests of Quebec with a sunlit creative studio and enough coffee gear to open my own mini café. Add in some bucket-list hiking trips, a few family reunions in Italy, and I’m set! 😄

Thanks for inviting us to share, and for showing that “impossible” goals are really just “not yet.” Rooting for you every step of the way—can’t wait to hear about the first time you take that Mustang for a spin!

Dear Andy,
my goal is really simple: having multiple sources of income to sustain my artistic career, and travel around the world.

The main super goal is giving back to the community by creating schools, places where the young generations could express themselves and find a purpose for their lives.
