The Dreamers Methodology

Stop dreaming of what could be and make a plan

We all have dreams. Some dreams are fantasies; they're fun to think about, but we don't expect them to come true. Other dreams reflect goals and ambitions that are important to us.

We may dream of having the world's greatest toy collection, being a popular cosplayer, or doing some adulting and dream of buying a home. Continuing our education. Or living comfortably during retirement.

Well, the truth is, most of us can't have everything---at least not all at once. On the other hand, we don't have to give up everything we enjoy to meet our future goals! Whatever your dreams may be, they can only come true if you stop dreaming and start doing. The secret of getting what we want now and in the future is good planning.

You Can Make Your Dreams Come True

Sometimes we're torn between dreams for the future and those we want to come true now. When we dream about a goal that's important to us, we may tell ourselves, "You can do it if you put your mind to it." Then another voice might remind us that we work hard and deserve some pleasures now, such as picking up the latest Star Wars toys, buying a new Batman cowl, eating out, buying new clothes, taking weekend trips, or going to concerts.

Whether or not we fulfill our dreams depends on the choices we make each day. You can choose to spend your money for today, or "spend" your way to your dreams so you and the people you care about can have a better life. It may not always be easy, but it doesn't have to be all sacrifice. Even if you feel you are living from payday to payday, you can make choices that allow you to enjoy your life today---and make the most of your money for the future.

Spend your way to your dreams?  Yes. Keep following The Batcave Toy Room, and you'll find out what this means. Because this what The Batcave Toy Room is all about now.

Of course, you need to be realistic. You may not be able to reach all your dreams. And you may discover that you can't afford to make mistakes in planning for your financial future. But if you follow the upcoming discussions here---you'll be on your way to changing your dreams from fantasies into attainable goals.
