I’ll max out my Roth every year
I’ll try a new restaurant every month
I’ll save up for a house
I’ll take a vacation every summer
Because I’ll quit teaching summer school
I’ll update my wardrobe every season
I’ll donate to charity every month
And NPR during every membership drive
I’ll buy extravagant Christmas gifts
I’ll get my hair cut at a chic salon
I’ll shop at Whole Foods instead of Safeway
(But I’ll always love Trader Joe’s!)
I’ll build a thick Freedom Fund
I’ll join an indoor pool to swim in during the winter
I’ll buy new, grown-up furniture
And a puppy to get fur all over it
But most importantly, I will know the feeling of not owing anyone a dime!
