Hmmm...We'd be debt free, and in our new house. DH would still work but a regular 40 hour week, no overtime unless he was really needed. We could take a vacation without stressing over how to pay for it.

It all comes down to money for us. Our ideal life would be us together but with no financial strains. Oh and I'd have my pre-pregnancy body back

Now that is what we are currently working on. Trying to do more with my crafts. I am working on class schedules to start teaching knitting lesson's in the fall. The store pays $15-30 an hour 5 per student. Ok so I get my foot in the door as a professional knitter. I get an in with a store, possibly figure out how to get my patterns published and out for sale. Patterns are great they cost 50 cents to make and sell for $4-5 dollars. I have a ways to go but I am starting. I know that it will be years before I even consider getting a regular job So doing something that I love and that will bring in even a little bit extra is worth it to me.
I had the dead end job I hated, I don't want to be there again

Me too! Sorry, I can't help you with that one, Shell. If you figure out how to make it happen let me know too.

If I can't have my pre-baby body back, then I'd like to have a tummy tuck.
My ideal is to be debt free and have my retirement savings adequately funded. What I have now might last a year. My husband has a good retirement system, but we need to add more. We would like a larger house so each girl could have her own bedroom and at least 2 1/2 bathrooms. If the house doesn't come to pass, it will not be the end of the world, but I would like some soundproofing in this one!
