Living the dream..are you living the dream???

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

What is living the dream to you??? Are you living the dream? If you aren't living the dream but won the lottery, would you live the dream. I'm still trying to figure out what the dream is and if the dream would make me happier. From October of 2002 to April of 2004 I lived in Montana and lived the dream..but there were nightmares as well including roommates who stole from me, being broke for the first time in my life and being isolated from family and friends. I guess the goal would be to live the dream endlessly but it seems out of reach..so instead I'm just gonna live the dream one minute at a time..

Feedback!!!!...Talk amongst yourselfs..

I own my own house less then a mile from a ski area...
I have a wonderful girlfriend.

I'm livin the dread... At least this dream... I could move onto another someday...

Life overall is pretty damn good.

Life overall is pretty damn good.

I surely second that -- Life is very good and whatever you make it !

 

[mondeo]

Close, but no cigar. Lottery wouldn't really change anything.

 

[wa-loaf]

Working on it, regrouping . . .

I'd say so. I consider my self a 1st generation skier, so hopefully in a few years, I can make a 2nd generation love the sport. Looking to buy property in southern VT in the next few years and that will put me one step closer paradise.

Last Saturday, while out mountain biking, I got to thinking "Who does this???" By this, I mean ski 30+ days then spend summers grinding in the woods. Seriously, I don't know of anyone (outside of folks on here) who do this.

Root do you live in NJ? I saw Summit..

 

[RootDKJ]

Root do you live in NJ? I saw Summit..

Yeah. Summit sounds so much more ski-like.

Why?

 

[deadheadskier]

I am living the dream .. working near a nuclear reactor .
I planned this all out when I was in High school ...

what's your secret? :lol:

 

[RootDKJ]

As an afterthought, I feel it's very important not to live a "dull and ordinary" life...how ever you define that.

I've been living the dream since I graduated college in December 2006, but the dream is about to end. Debt has finally caught up to me and I'm tired of being broke, so it's time to get a job. It was a good run, I was able to ski and hike pretty much as often as I wanted, but I knew it would come to an end eventually.

This past year and a half, it feels like I have been "working" the dream instead of "living" the dream. Suffice to say the plan is to change that starting this summer. Cut back on working hours and take better advantage of where we live. With exception of this past winter, definitely living the skiing dream. At least the one I envisioned when we moved up here.

 

[dmc]

Yeah. Summit sounds so much more ski-like.

Why?

I used to live in Berkely Heights... Mounta Biked all over that area... looking to get back down to Chimney Rock... Revisit some lines...
We should hook up for a ride..

 

[Glenn]

I've got a great wife
We have steady, good jobs
We've been smart about $ and that's helped stay skiing and invest in property near skiing.

I'd say life is pretty good right now.

 

[Vortex]

I could have done some things better. I could work less, Overall I can't complain. Life has been good to me. I would say yes,

 

[drjeff]

Can't complain - life is good. Work is good. Family is good.

I guess if it was a total dream world, I'd somehow move Southern VT about 90 minutes closer to my house in CT, and then from along about the middle of May until the middle of October move the RI shore so that I looked out on the ocean in the AM at home - afterall GSS did say "dream" in his thread, and short of a few scenes in Lost I'm not quite sure how to move land masses

Actually, if I won the lottery (a big one,) I'd fund the move of Cessna, Gulfstream, or Learjet to be adjacent to the Hartford airport. And in an effort to promote "diversity," get them to hire only single women in their 20s.

If the lottery were big enough, make it Boeing that moves, and simultaneously dissolve the professional union.

We almost bought a townhouse Berkeley Heights. PM me & let me know when you'll be in the area. I've never rode there, and it's on my list of things to do this MTB season.

If I won the lottery, the only thing I'd change is... I'd probably just spend more time on my hobbies than work. And a lot of time working on the house. I guess that is a hobby.
