Decision time again

And just like that our time in Darwin is done … well for the moment.
We have been to and fro since Christmas about what we should be doing with our life’s. Our bank account got to the figure that we needed it to so we can travel for about 12 months. So do we stay and cash up more and be able to travel leisurely and settle just in time for Ethan to start high school. Or do we go for broke and be happy with what we have and settle with a year or two for Ethan to catch up on things that he may of missed out on, before going off high school.
We decided to go for broke and see what pans out. 

When we set off on this adventure in 2015, we had next to no money and had what we could afford at the time. But the reason we set up was to spend time with our boys, as everyone knows you blink and your kids have grown up. We didn’t want that to happen to us, we wanted to spend time with our boys, quality, quantity time. We also had enough of materialistic things. We were stupid and wanted all those big things, a big house, a big car but at the cost of what? Working 2 jobs each to pay for it, so our kids wouldn’t appreciate it. And then they would complain what they didn’t have something, so you feel guilty that you work all the time and buy more crap to compensate. When we thought about it we didn’t want that stuff. What we wanted was memories with our boys. We had children to love, nurture and spend time with them, making memories. So that was it, decided let’s sell everything and move into a caravan and travel oz.
We got a bit lost again. Chasing money, for a bit more comfort and to help set us up when we finish. But how much money is enough? So we revalued what was important to us and this trip, our dream, is more important than materialistic stuff. That’s how we decided that now is the time to go. Chase our dream, finish our trip, do what we originally set out to do, create memories with our boys before they no longer want to be with us, go for broke and start our life’s again with a different prospective.
So Baker’s trip of oz is finally going to complete/do a trip. And we can’t wait. 

Take care xo
