Thinking Of The Future

I have been thinking of the future a lot lately. I love to write, but am I going to be blogging 20+ years from now. I am definitely not getting any younger, so as the days go by quickly, I am thinking of what steps I need to do today to help me later down the road.

I have my own “online business“, but owning a brick and mortar type of business has also been something I have always wanted since I was a child. With having a family of 6, starting some sort of family business sounds like something I really would like to do. I would love to be able to own a business that everyone in my family can be involved with.

Since exercise is a way to my body in shape. I re-joined my gym last month and have been trying to go at least an hour each day. Each time I leave that gym after getting some sort of workout, I feel good about myself which gives me motivation to keep coming back.

So then it comes down to the financial part of life. While I think I am living somewhat the dream being a work at home mom, there is always the need to be financially secure. While my “online business” pays the bills, I haven’t been so successful with building that big savings account I want to have just yet. When I get to the age where I cannot take care of myself and need home health care, I don’t want to have to rely on my children or other family to help pay the cost.  Being able to support myself and my family is very important to me. I don’t have experience of my own, but have family members who have used home care agencies and they can sometimes be expensive. I don’t want to leave that expense to anyone but me!

So I think I want to come up with some sort of real plan for the future. That plan just might include a family operated business since my daughters are getting almost to age where they are old enough to get a job to make some money. I haven’t decided if I would like something food related, retail or maybe offering some sort of service.

Have you set any goals for your future?
