“Where do you see yourself in 10 years?” part 1

I know that you think I should answer with a career-related response, but… nah.  I read an article recently about how we shouldn’t feel bad about not wanting to work 40 hrs/week our whole lives, but society sees this is being lazy.  It’s not being lazy - it’s spending your time wisely.  I can always get back money that I’ve lost, but I can never get back time that I’ve lost.

So here is my dream for myself in the future (I just picked 10 years, but it might be more depending on how quickly I can become FI (financially independent.)

I’ll wake up in the morning, do a little yoga/stretching, and make a cup of espresso for me and Josh from our fancy expensive espresso machine that’s hooked up to the water line in the kitchen. (so you never have to refill it.) I’ll look through the latest Time magazine while eating some fresh fruit and drinking my espresso at the kitchen table, which is in a bumped-out section of the kitchen with really good morning lighting.  Like, really good lighting.

Maybe before I start my breakfast, I’ll go out and grab eggs from the chicken coop.  By the way, having chickens won’t be that much of a hassle because I won’t work 40 hrs/week, so I will have time to do chicken-keeping stuff like clean/build the coop, get feed, etc.

If I don’t have something else specific planned for the day, then the rest of the morning until noon will be computer/work time.
