I'm starting to ponder a BIG goal. Like cash for our next home kind of big goal. I don't know exactly when we might own a home again. Possibly 5-7 years from now. In just over a year, we will no longer have children home full time. Of course, we expect them to visit! Therefore, we may be able to rent a home with less space then we currently have.
My first thought is to aim for $60,000. But the truth is I'd rather aim for $160,000. And that is a HUGE goal. Overwhelmingly huge. But the truth is if we don't aim for something, we won't get near as far.
Saving $160K in 7 years means saving $22,857 per year. As things currently stand that is not possible. We can save some of it, just not all of it. I'm starting to contemplate new streams of income or even a part time job to make that happen. I'm not sure where the money will come from but I'm looking to make that a new long term goal.
Do you have a HUGE goal that you are looking to achieve? Is it so big you don't know how it will happen?

We don't have such a huge goal, but we are saving up for a new driveway. We figure it will be around $7,000 to $8,000 by the time we get the money saved. It's not super long, but on a hill.

Where were you thinking of buying? Is this when your husband will retire from the military?
