Welcome back to Broke is Boring, and today's topic is normalize. Wanting more than a PTO day and a patio set. Oh my gosh. This title is ridiculous, and also that used to be my freaking bucket list that is as big as I could dream, right? Is getting the next day off work the next federal holiday how to celebrate Columbus Day. For my long weekend, three day. Come on. My God. Remember you used to try to like, strategically match, like get yeah. Get your Friday or your Tuesday so you could have an extra day in there Now. I literally don't even know what day it is. I don't get, it doesn't, it's today. Okay. Okay, so I have a story. So I actually used to have like a real bucket list, like I used to like write it down and have it on my refrigerator. Did you ever like have this? Absolutely. It had like 300 things on it. Of course, I would love to find that it was on a piece of paper, piece of fun, right? So I was in Amsterdam with Mark. We have a lot of fun stories from Amsterdam in this particular tale. We are on a boat, one of those like touristy like boats through the canal. We've been to Amsterdam like 20 times and finally we're like, oh my God, we've never actually done that. Let's go do that. Okay, so we're on the boat. We're going through the canals. Fun way to see Amsterdam because it's just so like unique and being on the water and looking up at all the crazy architecture is just really fun. Okay, mark is looking out the window and we had been living in Italy. We had been checking off a bunch from that bucket list, and we were living the dink life. And he says, we have too many checks on our bucket list. We need a new bucket list. And in the moment I start giggling. And I go, oh, I'm taking a picture of this right now because I will never forget this moment for the rest of my whole entire life. And I did. And I took a picture of him looking out this window and saying, we have too many checks on our bucket list. We need a new bucket list. And we're like 29 years old. It was just this moment that was just like, oh my gosh, how did we somehow get here Where. We have this list of things to do that are just like such big dreams and we did them. And also we're not willing to just go, huh, alright. We did it. I guess. I guess that's how that story ends. No, the story keeps continuing. Add another chapter that's this occupational hazard in the travel business because you book these incredible trips for people and then you're like but I wanted to go, I wanna do that too. So now my bucket list does not have a new patio set or a how to maximize my next PTO day. I no longer have PTO days. I just have days and actually I don't even know if there's anything tangible on my list at all. You have anything tangible on a, on your bucket list? Oh, yeah, you do? Let's talk about it, baby. Okay, so my. Old bucket list was all destinations. Like I don't care about phones and cars and things like that. I just like to travel. So until now they've always been travel related items and I still have places I really wanna go. I wanna go to Antarctica and I'd love to go to Nepal. I wanna do, I'm not gonna climb to Everest Space Camp, but, but I'll do like a helicopter ride around. So there's definitely things I wanna do. But. One of those is get European citizenship. That's something big on my list right now because we just love having options and so. Our family is in this transitional phase right now where we're moving to Ireland and we bought a home there last year, which was, it's a great home. It's, it's not the shiny object home. It's a nice four bedroom, three baths, detached home in, in walkable to town, a nice little suburban neighborhood. It'll be perfect for us, but I found my dream house. Like probably four or five months ago. Okay. So we were actually on the world cruise. We were on our cruise, and I said, oh my God, bakers, look at this house. And they were like, yeah, that's a sick house. And I could not get it out of my mind, like I. You know, when you like see yourself somewhere and I'm like, I wanna be making french toast in that kitchen and I wanna have coffee and drink it right there, and I wanna do all of these things like, you see yourself in that house. But it was, it's expensive. Like it for us, you know, it's expensive as relative for us. It's, it's an expensive house. And so I, I let it as a pipe dream to just say, okay, one day I wanna live in a place like that. And it, it sat for a little while and then it went under contract and I felt, I, I, I felt like a gut punch. 'cause I was like, okay, that house isn't gonna be mine, but maybe in five years when I'm ready, that house will come back up on the market and I can buy because there's truly nothing else like this house. And then. A, a month later it went back on the market and I said, oh my God, Dan, that house again. I just, I couldn't get this place outta my head and I said to him. Like, Hey, could we actually look at this? Like, is this a huge ...
