Building On The Dream
Apr 15th, 2009 Posted in Current Events, New Products, Quality Control | no comment »I haven’t had a chance to write lately. I’ve been wanting to and meaning to but I’ve been busy with my husband moving out of our home and into our Dream. Our 40′ Alpine Coach Motorhome.
Dreams Do Come True
Thirteen years ago when we first moved from Hawaii to California, our dream was to buy an RV and live in it and enjoy the entire US. Well, we recently did it! We downsized from our 2300 sq ft home into our 400+ sq ft Motorhome. Why it took us 13 years? As the saying goes, “Life gets in the way”. (personally, I think it’s having a J.O.B.)
Last spring we made it our goal to find the best RV to our liking. We knew back in 1996 which coach would have been the “one”, but that RV was now too old. What we did realize by waiting (justification) was that technology in the travel trailer industry was now up to speed.
We’ve had a business from home since 1990 (we learned you get lots of tax advantages early on) and we were both interested in making sure we could still work from the motorhome. Our (my) biggest concern was internet access. We found out that most RV parks had free WiFi, (that took care of my addiction) and since we both have cell phones, no landline was needed. Along with the WiFi and phone connections, we are pleased to know that cable is available at most parks for our TV needs and if not we have our satellite dish. So it’s business as usual, just now it’s on wheels.
Although, we’ve only been in the coach full-time now for a month, I could not be happier with our decision. I know it’s taken me away from focusing on my business, but it’s been worth it. I have to remind myself that I’m not on a vacation everyday, even though that’s how it feels, and I’m now settling into a routine for our United First business to become our number one goal.
Following our desire to control our destiny led us to find United First Financial and without the Money Merge Account and UDeduct we probably would still be dreaming of living in our RV. Making the right financial decisions with the help of our personal financial “GPS” now let’s us live our dream in full color.
