C and I have been driving around and looking at houses and neighborhoods. Trying to find somewhere we could imagine living for a very long time. Since we won't be able to move before we have kids (we're waiting about 3 years to save up enough money for a down payment), we kind of want the almost "perfect" home. Something that, is nice, but we have the opportunity and vision to change it. I've found a lot of FANTASTIC homes/houses/trailers whatever in the past month or so, and I wish we could move NOW! It would be stupid to do so, but I can't help hoping.
For example (and one reason why I said trailer) is that I found this 3b 2ba trailer thing on 84 acres... for $199,900!!!!! I know, that's a lot of space.... but let me outline what we're looking for.
I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom. I'd love to be a homemaker, but to ease C's mind, I'll be a stay-at-home mom with independent ways to make money. C wants a yard, and I want horses... So, we need a bigger yard than that can be provided where we're at now. Or back in Seattle! Here's the independent income ideas I've been toying with:
-Horse stalls (I'll have to hire help, but boarding, and trail rides would be ideal. I could do birthday parties, corporate/company events, etc.)
-Wedding Ceremony/Reception Location (one of those really fancy barns with a view... or just nice space with a fantastic view--there's a lot of rolling hills and awesome views that would be great. Could also rent it out for corporate/company events, etc... I'd let caterer's come in. Why not?! I don't want to cook!).
-Bed and Breakfast Inn (... maybe even cabins.. that would be awesome!)
-Wedding Planning studio (yeaaaah... I like it... even though I'm stressed with mine :D)
-Photography studio (I could do those hot guy pictures! aaand hot chicks! It'll be awesome!)
-Then of course the writing!!!
So... Horse trails $60 avg each person
Wedding locations: $600 (ceremony), $1500 (reception) average
Bed & Breakfast: $250 (night) average... I'd probably do less, but i dunno
Wedding Planning: $150-$1,000 each wedding (depending on what services)
Photography: $300-$2,000 (engagement to wedding)
I think I can do it... but I just neeeeeeed money!!!!
So! I'm going to start wedding planning. I've been taking lots of pictures (of kitten), to go towards my portfolio!! Just to add to our income.
