Time to update again

Ok, I'm horrible about updating this thing. It;s been so long, I didn't even realize that Google had taken them over (as part odf their gradual domincation of the world). So now I have to update my profile cause som many things have changed since I last came to update here.
First, I've started a new job, or more to the point started a new business. Myself and a few friends have gotten together and started up a business with t conceptual idea that we have all shared for several years now. I can;t go into the details (yet) but it's is revolutionary in it's concept, and is literally something I have dreamed about since I was in High School.
So that is super exciting, albeit somewhat scary since I'm technically not paying myself yet, so we are supporting ouselves on the spousal units income. She makes ok money, but we'll be making double that when the business "launches" and once we are profitable (hopefully years 2-3) there will be no need for her to work ever again. That is also a dream of mine. I want to establish a business by the age of 50 that allows me the oppurtunity to retire if I want to (I probably won't, but I'd like the freedom to if I wanted to). Since we're talking about goals, let's go over some of my other high end goals.

Before I hit 40, I'd like:
  1. First and foremost, I want to pay cash for all this stuff, and never give a cent to any credit company again.
  2. A nice sized boat that can cross the ocean if we want.
  3. A house with a basement, at least two floors, huge garage (at least 4 car), with enough rooms for a huge master bedroom (40 X 40 feet according to the wife), a gameroom, an office for me, a sewing/crafts room for my wife, an unbeleivably huge kitchen that you could cater a whitehouse reception in, a multimedia room where several people can sit and watch a movie, the big game, or just chill out, a gym so we have no excuse to not working out (could be incorporated with game room, or be in basement which would likely be a family type room),
  4. In the garage, at least one custom built super awesome muscle car (would be nice to finish the 72 Olds I have now), one jeep type (Jeep, Toyota Landcruiser) vehicle that is super raised, with physco huge tires, and an aftermarket bigblock engine, One luxury/sports car with all the trimmings, comfy to ride in, but super fast
  5. A 2-3 story barn that is a giant workshop with enough space to have a woodworking area, a metal-working area, and the whole bottom floor being a auto-awesomeafication area, for building that super awesome muscle car.
  6. A small cabin on a lake or ocean somewhere, where you can walk to the water without passing any houses or anything.
  7. My Mom, and my Mother-in-law living in a house they own, but don't have to mantain (i.e. be able to have things fixed as they break, painted as it needs painting, lawn perfectly manicured, etc.) Maybe even have room for both at the main (mine and Wife's) house, but with enough seperation that we can all do our own things without stepping on each other's toes. :) :)
  8. I'd like to make enough to start donating a large chunk of money to two kinds of organizations, one that helps stray pets, and one that helps lower income children that aspire to greatness, and have shown that they are willing to put in the effort to make a change in their life. I may even have to start some organizations, as I feel that a lot of the ones that exist now have become too top heavy, and too many people make money off the organization as opposed to serving the purpose they were designed for.
  9. I want to send my wife back to college (if that is what she wants) so she can do (professionally) what she wants to (I have a feeling she wants to be a vet, but we'd need a really big house with lot's of space to handle all the new critters that we'd be adopting).
  10. Enough land to for a heli-pad (see next item), space for horses (one each for me and wife), space to ride, lots of trees, a small putting green, an inground pool, and plenty of room for all the critters that we'll end up adopting (I see at least a few goats, horses, dogs (inside and outside variety), cats (all outside variety, but barn will be where they all live seperated so doggies and kitties can live in peace), and atop a hill so view is great, but it's very hard or impossible to see another house.
  11. A helicopter, small enough to land at our house, but large enough for 4 people and some cargo. No I cannot fly a helicopter yet, but that would be another thing I want to learn. I have ALWAYS wanted to know how to fly a chopper.

Ok, well that's a pretty good start. There are a million little things I want, but that will change of course with age and maturity, as will this list probably, but this would be a great place to start.

I have to go let the puppie dogs in, so I have to sign off, but I'll hopefully be updating this on a regular basis, and keep it current for the masses, but more importantly, for myself. :)

God Bless
