Pipe Dreams?

I did some fun number crunching today. The result was a semi-accurate estimate of how much money I can save realistically incrementally for the next several years. I was excited, not because I want money and to be rich though. I was excited because my pipe dream of one day owning an Earth Sheltered home in Ohio near my "brother" ceased to be a pipe dream and became a real possibility!

I have for a long time been yearning to live a debt free lifestyle... So many people have told me that to own a home is to be in debt. God has placed me into an unique situation where most of my income becomes discretionary. Thus if I save every dime I have eventually I will potentially have what I need to buy a home for a very small if any mortgage. That is really exciting for me. It will take many years of hard work and saving, but to eventually get there will mean the rest of my life to have financial freedom. To be able to live in my own home without paying a mortgage or rent payment, would mean that cash flow would be drastically increased. If cash flow is flowing freely, even with a less paying job, then I could be so much more flexible in supporting God's work, and potentially my family.

Exciting thoughts, but I am not foolish enough to think that God might have something else in mind for me. It would not be the first time. But for now, I have some fun long term and short term goals. We will see where God takes me down this path, this will be interesting no matter what happens!
