This next month is going to be a big month for me. It will include my license re-instatement, getting new insurance and the emissions test done, and finally my car being registered. That will go a long way towards my future. It will set me up for it. Being mobile now for me will be an absolute Godsend. I can wait, but at times I cannot. I'm not overly excited, just relieved to tell the truth of it. August is a huge month for me in terms of the future as well. We get paid five times that month and I am taking two cheques and putting them away. I have always wanted a Range Rover. I want a 2003, Red with tan interior. I know about the petrol mileage situation that comes with it. It is not for me a "status symbol", nor is it a "label" thing. I care less than the other about both of those things. I just have always wanted it for myself since I'm a little boy. I have English blood from my Ancestors running through my veins. It is just something that I can see myself in. It is about time that I be able to get something really nice for myself. This represents that. I am thinking of saving my money and getting a second job after I get the car running at the end of next month. Then next January, when I want to get it I can also use next year's tax refunds as well. I want a 2003, because that is the last year that Range Rover was made in Coventry England before the company was bought by Ford motors. I am encouraged because my credit score has gone up by 10 points. I have used it very wisely and have been paying it off well before the due date. I just buy something and pay it off right away. I am encouraged by the thought that I can build my own house if I can get my hands on some vacant rural land. I can build it or take my time building it, and live in a small rv on the property perhaps and not have a mortgage, it would all be out of pocket money. Whatever I can save and be blessed with by The Lord. That is obedience and relying upon Him. There are Habitat for humanity restores all over. There are salvage yards all over. There are abandoned farms and homes all over. If I could get my hands on an abandoned farm or a home, I am set. That' half of my battle right there. 800 sf is all I need. 2 bedrooms and 1-1?2 baths. I want my four poster oak canopy bed, my wood burning stove in the corner and my built in windowseat. Everything else is gravy. That's what I've always wanted since I was a little boy and that is what I will have before The Lord calls me hiome when he will. I AM READY. Now all I have to do is the research. Where do I want to live in the country? I am looking at Iowa and Missouri. Either one of those places are fine for me. I don't have a preference over either one, they both work as well in my mind. I've been listening to my Co-worker talk about Amarillo, Texas and how cheap the standard of living is out there. He Is driving there today to join his Wife at their In-laws. They are going to survey it over the next week whilst he is on vacation there. . I will see what he says when he gets back, because he may be giving his notice. I'll have to see about that I guess. For right now though it is looking like a cross between Iowa and Missouri for me. Cheers, Cbj.
