What's On Your Shopping List?

Okay, so I got an update on my three former 'Short Lists'.

A) The Short List Update: I did find three nice late 60s style men's shirts and accessorized them perfectly, to wear to work or for any casual gathering I attend (CHECK).

B) The Shorter-yet-longer Short List Update: I am now in love with my new studio and neighborhood, so it is going to be hard to move if I can't find a better place with better property management.

Which leads to the new Shortest List Ever Update:

Section A-1) I will not make my September deadline to pay off my line of credit but instead will have it paid off by mid-October.

Section A-2) which is related to section B above

: Since turning 60 last spring, and since a flurry of ideas keep percolating in my "Where Do You Plan To Be in 5 or 6 Years" strategy, I have been working on putting together a time line of savings strategies to afford to build my own tiny home and buy my own tiny piece of property (out in the sticks, naturally, lol) and to save back in timely ways to purchase up-cycled materials to build my new tiny home. Like wood products or unusual items from old buildings or glass windows and such. I also want to have a solar powered roof so I can generate my own power and I want to have my own water filtration system, but I keep watching lots of stories about people who have built their own and have done it in two or three years time, plus they came in on budget or slightly under.

So that's my new 'Shorter Yet Longer Short List' dream goal that I will be working on, the next few years. Have my own place, buy my own property, be self sufficient and be off grid and owe no one anything except maybe property taxes on a yearly basis. To be as independent and self supporting as possible.
