Major Plans, Major Excitement!
I've made posts before like The Freedom Of Nature & Financial Freedom & When Pipe Dreams Come Alive laying out some goals we have. Mainly these goals are financial in nature. Basically I want to become financially free from Steemit/Dtube and ultimately save enough money to by a travel van in which we plan on living out of. Right now we are still pushing to get the van in the long term although we've decided to delay it for now. Why? Because we have a short term opportunity that we didn't want to pass up.
The Big Announcement
As of right now our plans are to move to Las Vegas! Yepp. That's what I said. We have actually been brainstorming places to move in the last few years but we never came to a decision on it until roughly last week. There were other places we had in mind but after visiting Vegas last October a strong case was made for moving there. To do this we plan on saving around $15K. Basically that will give us roughly a years worth of rent which would be a major load off of us financially while we continue to save for our longer term goals. I'll go into more details about what made us want to live there. I know, crazy right? Most people only think of it as a place to vacation and not a place to live.
It is official people! That is the plan for us right now. There's much more I want to share on our reasons for making this decision. We feel at peace with the way things are headed. Now it's just continuing to put in the work and also hoping for steem to moon soon. Man oh man if that happens we would hit our $15K goal much sooner than expected. Well... let's just say I'm a dreamer. Peace. What big plans do you have right now?

2016? Wow, sometimes I wish I had joined that early but then, it isn't late and I still have the chance to start living the dream right from now.
Currently, I'm looking more into the blockchain technology beyond Steemit. I wanna understand how it works, what can it do and how can I use it to solve the many problems we have in Africa and the world as a whole. I put in 4-6 hours a day studying and reading materials on blockchain tech - not on the technical level but more on business model.
I have also taken some courses on Edx and coursera, I hope to achieve an intermediate level by end of this year.
Man that's some serious dedication to studying about it. Much respect for that. Keep me updated on your findings or ideas about helping the Motherland with blockchain tech
I sure will, I've dedicated a lot more time for the @wafrica community. It's little by little and I believe the greatest impact we'll have is to grab this tech while it's still early and mould out some cool solutions for ourselves. Little by little, we'll get there brother.
Perfect solution. You are a great young family. I think that this decision to move is not an "easy" life choice. But often this choice drastically changes life.
I also want to move to another place. We considered a lot of places and countries. But while this desire remains unrealized. There are some factors that prevent it from doing. But of course the main one is money issues.
I wish you to carry out your plans and collect the necessary amount of money. You have made a decision, which means that you will succeed. Peace
Where do you want to move to?
we saw the nearest southern Slavic countries. I have long liked those picturesque and beautiful places.
Wow! Thanks for letting us in man. That's a beautiful family. It's amazing the many things Steem is helping people do, the lives it's fixing, the dreams it's facilitating, the joys, the freedom.... How can we not love this awesome movement?
I believe all will work out fine pal. If you came this far, you can reach sooner. Good luck with your dreams. And u ain't just a dreamer! And I'll pass on the bottom line question or your eyes will roll and your head spin from reading... Lol...
Lol. Answer it! Haha. You just made my day with this. I wish much more success to you.
Lol.. OK. I'll just give you what seems like a hint. When my Android went bad, I had nothing doing anymore as I was off steemit, so I got a job, the pay is little but it takes all my time, literally all day. There aren't much job opportunities in Nigeria so you consider yourself lucky when you get one. Not that I thought the job could help me get a better device sooner, I'd have to save for like four months for that, but I just didn't want to be idle, at the same time, I had to earn money somehow. Sorry for this preamble, lol..
I want to start up a business of my own. I have the structure and plans already, just waiting for the funding, which I believe will come soon. Then, move out of my family house soon, rent an apartment, and start living independently. I want to appreciate the responsibilities that will roll in, and grow with them.
My current job can't help me with those anytime soon, but I believe steemit can go a long way. I have other plans, but these are the primary ones I am dealing with for now.
Thanks for the wish!
The great thing is that you got a plan. Going into business is tough but its worth it if it works out. Go for it!
Thanks man. I just want to build my own dreams, then I can help others build theirs.
Man I am indeed really happy hearing that ;)
After all patience is all that we need and ultimately we will be there !
You do have a pretty nice family brother :)
All the very best to the life awaiting in Vegas for you three :)
Man I sure hope so. It's been on our minds for a while to move there but now we have made up our minds
That's really exciting, man. I'm stoked for you. Looking forward to hearing more about the details of the move. I hope that it helps you and your family move forward into the plans and dreams that are in store for you. Blessings and safety in your move.
I'll share more over time but now the big focus is stackin the dough for us to move there 1st qaurter 2019.
This is why i sometimes hate dtube, it doesnt play any sound to me on your video... it's probably a problem on my end since i don't see anyone else complaining about it...
Conquer the world xD too big? Finish college, invest into the crypto market, read more books, go out more, increase my muscle mass and get ripped, i could be here all day long talking about my plans, but the end goal is to conquer the world xD it's just my opinion but i would be a much better politician / ruler then the ones we have atm, but i guess im biased xD
The leaders we have now are leading us into world war. Its crazy
Word war, hunger, torture, taxes on top of taxes to keep the simple man under control, people should be happy that they are alive, but instead most of them are depressed because they are alive, working a 9-5 job almost not getting paid, just to end up with 70years, retire, and have no energy to go and see the world!!
Vote Teutonium for President Of The World - 2025 ( starting my campaign right now xD)
It's a shame people even still prescribe that kind of living and life track to us still. The old ways are not working. We have to make new moves. Otherwise this world will chew you up and spit you out without giving two cares in the world about you.
Woooah, You mentioned you really wanted to move out to the desert a few months back Earl, that's amazing that you're actually doing it. exciting times ahead man, congratulations.
I'm surprised you still remember that. Haha. I belong in the desert and plus it's another step forward for me and my family.
Of course I do, you're one of the first people on here I considered a friend. I hope the move goes well man, you might be able to catch a UFC event while you're out there ;)
Vegas, believe it or not is a family town in many ways. I lived there briefly and may return now that I am retired once my finances are in order. Its very doable; much success to you in your journey...
Oh thats cool. We spent 90% of our time away from the strip when we went there. We love the people and the culture. Its a hidden gem because most dont realize life outside the strip.
How long did you live there?
only about six months. I was considering living there permanently. The reason I left was the person I was staying with needed to move for health reasons and I had not gotten a job yet. Wasn't the right time. You are right it can be a hidden gem if certain things are in place and it is surprisingly affordable. The summers are brutal though so high electric bills are a way of life. I found lots to do besides the strip also. They are very health conscious and have a strong community in that regard as well...
Funny enough things just happen in our lives which are not planned but perhaps imagined and wished. Steem has given me back what I lost to Ponzi and has given me what I never imagined I would have in three years combined from my work. I never knew I would find steemit, I only lived my life each day as it came and here I am. So with this little experience of mine, I know that absolutely nothing is impossible. It's just a matter of time and soon, real soon, you will hit you $15k Mark and you will definitely invite me over to you New house in Vegas. Lolzz. Stay blessed.
It's amazing to hear about your journey. I think you will have much more sucess from Steemit. I also think the steem price will go up like crazy. This would help us reach our goal faster.
Good for you man, your ultimate goal should be a long term one and that is the van and I like how you realized that you need more time for that and made an alternate decision for the time being. That is really hard to do, my goal from now is to complete my graduation and apply for masters in mechanical engineering. from a reputable university hopefully in USA Germany or Australia. Right now I'm studying in Karachi Pakistan. Thank you for your goal and I hope you'll give your critique about mine.
Awesome that you have that goal. Take it one day at a time and enjoy what you do. Which country do you want to go to the most?
Germany because of the technological aspect and working environment.
Wow! That's HUGE!
I wish it was me planning to move.
Congratulations on steemit and every other thing working for you. You put in a lot of hard work every day, and although this is great news, i am not really surprised.
You're the real gee Sir
Thanks and I wont forget people like you that helped me to get there
I wonder who is helping who here, because to me, you are the one helping me. You have given steemit a whole new dimension. Thank you for always holding it down and having our backs.
Your fam is lucky they have you
Every success person started from the scratch. And your is a success story still in view and continuity. I have googled and watched movies about Las Vegas, seems to be a fun place.
When you hit the 15k target, we definitely be seeing videos and photos of beautiful places from you.
Like the popular say "What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas"
I hope to see you move soonest
Well, I don't want what happens in Texas to stay in Texas. I wanna learn a lot more directly from boots on the ground not the mainstream media, so I hope he will share a part of what happens in Texas with us 😉
Definitely he will give us update
So far we plan on moving there early 2019. It is more than possible for us to save that amount too.
Okay, early 2019 is a good one
Wow. I must confess this is overwhelming. It's equally amazing. Vegas.... Lol.... I love that city.
When I have financial goals, for a particular task most times I overshoot my money. So I end up getting and working for more than I need.
Also, I hope you have an emergency account or a residual account. It comes in handy.
For me, trying to get off some debt. Hoping Steem moons soon.
Also, I found something that gives me the thrill of ikigai. Programming. Though I don't know where to start, but I know I will.
And cute family you got. And just like that queen rests on her mama's chest, without fears and Knows that momma has got her, just commit your plans to the Lord. knowing He's got you always.
Waiting for some good news from you.
There you go again with some of the best comments. For sure we'll have backup money. Glad you found something you are very interested in. Alot of people are not even focused on their interests. I'll keep yall updated about our plans
Thank you for the comment. and i pray you the best
I joined steemit last year and I can tell you it is a success story. Since the beginning of this year, I've not been broke for once
That's something I really love about this platform. It's helping people to sustain themselves. Nice!
Nice plans bro, i never thought people live there too, because all i hear about Vegas is the fun and merriment there in.
However, i pray you find the fulfillment in Vegas that triggered the thought of making the move in first place.
Exactly. Its actually much more to the city than just the bright lights and entertainment. We really like the desert and the people there were cool.
THATS GOOD TO KNOW...HAVE FUN
The van is a good plan and Las Vegas is a lively environment where there is a enough fun. I believe you will reach that $15k.
I believe so too and if the price of steem rises significatly then we could reach our goal much sooner.
Can't wait for steem to get to the moon.
Wishing you all the best
It's really inspiring to read your post. In fact, if I have to give something to do something in life, and if I can spend the maximum time here, I will definitely get it from here.
Very humbling to know that. I'm just grateful to be able to share my life and give encouragement to people. It means alot that you said that
Some great tings you shared today very excited the journey is going to be even exciting :D
That's so exciting! We are planning to maybe make a move to Michigan to save money on rent and plan for our future too! That pic of your family is beautiful btw! (And those baby wraps are AMAZING. They saved my life with all 3 of my babies!)
I am so rooting for ya because I love it when people try to break away from the norm and do something really cool and interesting with their lives.
You have my full upvote from now on, to help you toward your goals. It isn't much, but every penny counts!
Good luck! :)
This is a big deal to us for so many reasons. It's time for the next part of our journey. I'm grateful for your upvote too!
I dont know much about Michigan but it seems to be a beautiful place. When will you move there?
Hey, just wanted to let you know I gave you an upvote because I appreciate your content! =D See you around
Great stuff! Much appreciated
Actualy I think we always try plan our work everyday..
Plan Your Day… Every Day
Having goals is a good thing. And yet, most goals are too long-term.@humanearl sir...
Instead of trying to look so far into the future, try planning the here and now.
Today often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. After all, you have to live your life today in order to reach tomorrow.
“It is going to be hard to get to tomorrow if you don’t have a plan for today.”
Ask yourself, “What do I need to do today and how am I going to get it done?”
Here are a few tips to help you plan your day today:
Always Have a Plan – Take 5 to 10 minutes each morning to plan your day. It doesn’t have to be fancy. At a minimum, you should plot out what you need to do, where you need to be, and how you are going to accomplish your responsibilities.
Wel done sir...
