Decision To Travel

Hoboken St. Patrick's Day
Aracely and I have always preferred living in urban areas or cities. The city offers easily accessible grocery stores, restaurants, bars, parks, museums, the arts and public transportation all within walking distance. These are the things we enjoy and where we have spent our money over the last 3 years. We have sacrificed the size of our home, the quality of furniture and the excitement of a cool car. My 2024 4-door Sebring has 145,000 miles and is a little banged up; however it’s paid off and I no longer have to worry about bumper damage while parallel parking in Hoboken. The furniture we owned, prior to the moving sale, was cheap and served its purpose well. Our bed consisted of a mattress on the floor in a Hoboken, New Jersey 1-bedroom apartment. These are sacrifices Aracely and I have accepted and are very content living with.
The ability to have an exciting social life has always been our primary focus. If I am going to spend money, I prefer it to be out socializing with friends over drinks at a local Hoboken bar or restaurant. This is why I moved to Hoboken 3.5 years ago. Include a few adventures like skydiving, river rafting and 3-day vacations and my life is good. Aracely cares most about vacationing in a different country each year and action adventures as well. These are the types of memories we will cherish most at 80 years old. These are the stories we are eager to share with friends and family. Would you rather brag about your 10-second 1/4 mile racecar, or the new floor just installed in your kitchen? We are all different when it comes to our own personal excitement, but it’s important to ask yourself a question like this to be certain you are doing the things you crave. If you share your life with someone else, it’s even more important to communicate those desires often to make sure you both get what you need out of life. (more…)
