I grew up wanting to work for NASA. Never wanted to be an astronaut I like solid ground thank you veer much. Really loved math and science and I even applied to a couple of position at different locations. It never happened but it was a fun goal and dream to have for a number of years of my life.
As far as luxury I’ve not seen snow in over a decade! Most would consider that every winter a luxury of sorts.
I just want a few acres of land in the middle of nowhere with some mountain views and good places to go backpacking and hiking one day. I’m rather far from that goal finically and physical in enjoying such a location. Still something I slowly think about once in while. Fresh air, little to no elections. Don’t think it could get better than that as long as it had some amazing views and space to enjoy the outdoors.
I think most people are going let greed get the best of them in our cryptocurrency world. They see all that money with no self-control or delayed satiation. I fear many will be like large lotto winners the money will be gone almost as fast as they made it. Which is just a shame as they could have never needed to worry about money ever again in they hit it big.
I don't think about something as exclusive as mountain living but I've always wanted to be out of the city, maybe on the fringes of the city, somewhere where houses aren't stacked next to each other. Same as you getting to the point that in my life it probably isn't going to happen, I will be to old to want to be further out in a few more years. I did try and escape the city for a couple years, the place was perfect except for a couple things. Sat on ten acres of land, neighbors not to close, but it also sat on one of the busiest main thru ways. You couldn't open the windows it was so noisy from the traffic, you couldn't even sit on your porch and listen to yourself for all that mattered, the big highlight was on a Sunday night and maybe three minutes would go by without a car going by. During the week it was basically like living in the middle of the road. The house sat like thirty feet from the road, most the acreage was behind it. Not being able to open the windows was one of the factors I though contributed to mold that always grew on the window sills. I got to the point where I just cough all night long. So finally I gave up and moved back to my duplex, it was rougher than I though to trying to deal with two sets of tenants. The stuff they don't try getting away with when you aren't living next to them. lol. But yeah, something really simple like a small two bedroom house, really nice kitchen it had, beautiful cupboards, under counter lighting, spacious and hardwood floors through out but I guess that simple dream isn't going to be.
I’ve been very blessed to never live in a large city. In fact I try and avoided them like the plague. Way too much sound and people moving around at all hours of the day or night. I like to look up and see the stars at night and not have the blocked out by city lights.
I can more than understand the desire to have open windows. I get a nice cross breeze from two winds certain times of the year when it’s not too hot yet. Always nice to get some fresh air and hear the sounds of birds.
