Like probably every other person in the country, I’ve had some tough times financially lately. I’m a freelance writer, so my income is dependent on how much work I can find. While my workload has only suffered a little in the last few months, it’s had a much greater impact than usual because of how gas, food, and other prices are skyrocketing.
I know it’s not just me who is feeling the pain of this, though, because everyone is talking about it. Since most people have full-time jobs with fixed salaries, it really isn’t the fault of my source of income at all!
When I start feeling discouraged about money, I like to dream about what I would do if I won the lottery. (Of course, my chances of that aren’t very good right now, since I don’t have the money to play.) Right now I’ve dreaming about moving to Florida, hiring Florida custom home builders, and building a nice little villa for me, my husband, and my horse.
In my dream, of course, I get a really good deal because of the current condition of the housing market, but in truth it sounds like the Florida housing market is recovering somewhat faster than the rest of the country. Florida custom luxury home builders are actually in demand, enough so that they had a fantastic Tampa Bay Parade of Homes this year. A bunch of the top luxury home builders in Florida competed to see who could build the best homes and win the grand prize of each category.
Of course, I’m not likely to win the lottery anytime soon, particularly since I don’t even buy lottery tickets, so I guess I’d better quit daydreaming and instead focus on the problem at hand: ensuring that my income keeps up with my expenses!
