- Teach my boys about how to properly use money.
- Go on a vacation with just Pool Boy.
- Go on a vacation with Pool Boy and all of our friends, without kids.
- Become, and stay, physically fit – not to be confused with losing weight. I just feel healthy and fit.
- Become a mentor to other people who want to get out of debt and monitor their expenses.
- Attend a Dave Ramsey show.
- Own another piece of real estate for investment purposes.
- Take my family to Disneyworld. (scheduled for next summer!)

- Paint the trim on my house. Yes, it may take me that long to finish.
