DH and I were talking last night about some of our wants. While we are dedicated to debt payment, I just like to dream and think about things like this. This list is nothing but pure dreaming. I have NO plans to purchase ANY of this in the next few years.
1. Fishing Boat w/ small beater truck for pulling: This is one of DH's biggest wants, as he loves to fish. I on the other hand just love to be out on the lake. There is nothing more relaxing than curling up beside DH with a nice book while he catches a whale. I also enjoy fishing, but only when I am actually catching something! I have told DH, after we get the debt paid down and get our family started, we WILL start saving for this. Estimated cost:$10,000 for both.
2. New mattress: I pet-sit for a woman who has a sleep number bed, and let me tell you, that thing is HEAVEN! It is like sleeping on clouds. I look forward to pet-sitting just so I can take advantage of her awesome bed. Estimated cost:$1700 for a king size.
3. New granite counter tops for the kitchen: I am in love with the black galaxy granite counter tops. I hate my white, cracked laminate ones. The black would look so good in our red and white kitchen. I'll just have to make-do with seeing the pretty counter tops at Lowes. Estimated cost:$3000
4. New living room furniture: There is a sectional at Rooms to Go that I am in LOVE with. Since our cats tend to be kind of rough on furniture, this is probably one of the last wants we will get. They never claw it when we are around, but I KNOW they are clawing it. Two of our kitties are pretty young, and I expect they are the culprits, but I have never caught them in the act. Estimated cost:$2000
Total estimated cost of wants: $16,700. HA! That's about three credit cards, or a student loan and one credit card. One of these days, maybe. It's nice to dream:)
