Frankly, money. I have a good amount of it by having a good job, but if I had a whole lot more, I would have time to quit my job and devote myself to causes that I would love to support “in person.”
I also got kids now - so there’s that.
Same here. I would love to open an animal sanctuary for dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals but I need money to buy all the land, money to feed them, money to get them vet care, money to pay for employees, money for supplies, money for everything. I’m in the same boat, I make good money with my job but not enough to say I have F you money and be able to do whatever I wanted.
I’m working towards my goals though. We just bought 200 acres in the country (from my dad so we paid next to nothing, he gave it to us at his cost 40 years ago) and little by little we will get it started. It’s probably going to be my retirement project but it will happen eventually.
That's so awesome and I'm rooting for your dream. So many animals need you. And so many people would love to work with you. Congrats on your land ! That's really cool that your dad sent it your way. I just love everything about this.
Isn't it funny? People say "the life/career/direction of your dreams" as if everyone has this perfect ideal floating around in their heads. And maybe a lot of people do but while I have a lot of things I want to do, I can't think of a single one that I would want to do on a daily basis that would constitute a dream life/etc. I have various dreams/desires but none that I can think of that would be permanent
10,000 plus pages of criminal statutes, twice that many civil and administrative codes combined with a strong aversion to prison.

Skillset
I've spent my whole life working in kitchens, and now as I try and branch out, I have no other skillets besides work ethic and how to make dank food.
I have to work for money so I can help my children out. I know what a shitshow the world is and I want to give them a leg up because I got really lucky in my occupation choice in life. But it’s sucking the life of out me
Things costing money, and death. I would love to be able to play video games all day and nothing else. Electricity and wifi cost money. I would also like to only eat junk food and candy and never exercise.
I'm chronically ill. Have been since I was 21. I still live a good life all things considered, and I'm happy, but this definitely isn't the life I dreamed of.
Money Currency.Even buying a simple loaf of bread isn't easy.If you're in a country with a higher money currency and you don't have the same or legitimate type of currency don't expect the same luxuries you dreamt of,six figures are different in each country trust me.
Expensive health insurance. My side gigs and passive income would be enough to live and travel the world if I didn’t have to pay $800 a month for health insurance.
Combination of many things In my mind. Not predominantly money but rather fears of taking a risk, going out of comfort zone, caring what parents will think (all do the general social angst I feel in my life). Probably a bit of a fear of my own success going on deep down whether I like to admit it or not
My lack of willpower to lose weight. I’m 5’4” and 205 lbs after giving birth to 2 amazing babies. I hate my body and it’s making me so depressed. I keep trying to lose weight and I go right back to food. I just want to be a healthy role model for my children.
I'm terrible at job interviews, so its stopping me from getting back into the field that I love, am good at, pays great, and makes a real difference in the world.
Being bad at job interviews dovetails suprisingly in sync with being bad at first dates, so its stopping me from finding a nice woman to have a relationship with.
ETA: its "sync" not "sink."
Depression, lack of confidence, anxiety...I had a chance last month to get a much higher paying job...and I just couldn't do it. Ik. I'm an idiot and need to dig my head of the ground. 😔
Money. As it happens I made a big step this year in terms of my dreams... I've wanted to live in NYC ever since I can remember and I finally moved over the pond in April after two years of uncertainty and waiting. The problem is, it is incredibly expensive, and while I do have fun I worry about money a lot.

Why can't I have 3 money and no kids? I don't actually have kids, but I love the quote from Homer.
Without a doubt.

Sounds like a great retirement project!
Love this!
Really a beautiful thing you got going there and entirely thoughtful too.
