November 9- Planning My Future

I have been thinking about my life as it stands today, and I got to realizing that I need to make a change in the direction in which it seems to be going now. I have only once rented my own place until the rent went up too high for me to be able to pay it on just my disability. Other than that, I have been either homeless, in jail, or relying too much on others to take me in.

I think now is the best time to change all that. I decided that I will divide all my plans into 3 year terms. My first 3 year plan will be working on my first goal of once again renting a place for me and my son to live. To do that, I have to find a part time job within 1 year, then the next will be finding a 2 bedroom place to rent, and then finally living in my own rented house or apartment.

The next 3 years will be working on getting off of rent and finally owning a home of my own. Year one will be working at my part time job and saving the money I will need all the while continuing to pay my rent and other bills with my disability checks and some of my work pay. Year two will be pretty much the same as well as finding an affordable 2 bedroom house to buy. Of course by the end of year three, I hopefully will have succeeded in purchasing a nice 2 bedroom home and beginning to live in it.

The next 3 years will be all about working up to a 3 bedroom home. I will also by this time be finding a full time job that pays more than my disability will and provides insurance to where I no longer have to be confined to a once a month income. With that income, the next year will be maintaining my 2 bedroom home and the bills as well as saving for the 3 bedroom one. I will also be looking for the 3 bedroom home which by the end of the third year, I will have sold my 2 bedroom home, bought my 3 bedroom one, and then living in it.

Now here is the big question. Should I keep going further to my ultimate goal when it comes to housing of having a 5 bedroom house or should I just stick with my 3 bedroom one? I really do wish to have 5 bedrooms so that I can have a bedroom for my son, one for me, a guest room, a computer room, and of course one for my fantasy room where all my fantasies are given a place of their own to play. That one will always be off limits to anyone unless they are 18 or older and participating in my fantasies. I know I can always do without that special room, but it still would be nice to have. If I stick my 3 bedroom house, I can always make the 3 bedroom my fantasy room, but then the guests would have to sleep in the living room and my computer will have to be kept in my room. I don't like the idea of guests sleeping in the living room because I feel if they are kind enough to come visit for a week or two, they should be treated with the same respect as all occupants of the house have and be allowed to have their own room for the time they are staying over. It's weird, but I'm just respectful in that way. I would want to make sure they are comfortable during their stay and then maybe they will come back to stay another time after that as well.

Whatever I do decide, I'll have the same house rules that will apply to occupants and guests alike. Rule one: No alcohol in the house. You can go out and drink, but don't come to my house drunk. Rule two: No drugs in the house. I don't care if you go somewhere else to get stoned, but if you come to my house and even appear to be stoned, I will ask you to leave. Rule three: Respect everyone that visits the house with the same respect as those who live there. Rule four: What is said and done in the house whether you live there or visit, once you walk out the doors, you leave it behind those doors. There will be no gossiping or telling other people what is said and done in my house. If it is found that someone is, then that person will no longer be living or allowed to visit in my home. Rule five: Even as a guest, my home is your home and therefore you will be allowed to serve your self or even fix your own meals if you so wish as long as you fix enough for everyone. You will also be bound by my rules of the house once you walk into my doors. Rule six: You clean after yourself. You dirty it, you clean it. There will be no maid or butler in the home as everyone is an equal (unless of course it is my master or mistress that is telling me what to do as their slave girl).

That's all I have for today. Take care and be safe always everyone.
