Even just one month of saving roughly $2,000 on our mortgage is enough to cover a good bit of a really fun trip to Hanalei for a week. That mindset was a big part of our rationale. We'd rather have at least a few fun "destination" surf trips a year than sacrifice monthly to have it in the back yard. That's especially easy to say when the back yard looks like it did this morning lol. View attachment 30621 Click to expand... There you go! Thinking outside the box and realizing there is more that one way to address the situation. When I was still living at the beach, my neighbors down the street were heavily involved in the surfing industry, she had been a professional snow boarder and he was a glasser at Channel Islands Surfboards. He was starting to have some health related issues as a result of that craft and she decided that she needed her husband around to help her raise their kids. She put her foot down and they all packed up and moved up to Oregon where she was from. They realized that they were on a financially unhealthy treadmill to maintain a lifestyle living at the beach and away they went. I was impressed with their priorities. |
