off the wall :-)

Hi,
I have an ot and a bit off the wall question I hope is ok to post here.
Any answers are ok, the more off the wall the better. I'm hoping this
will enlighten and help me think outside the box a bit. :-)
If were $60,000 in debt, broke, in need of a vacation, stressed out at
work and everyone's wishing they could just move to a different
location what would you do? We thought a yurt would be fun but we
couldn't put it together, (just kidding, LOL)
Anyway, thanks for reading this and for humoring me a bit :-).......I
hope all of you have a wonderful day! :-)

thinking on that place and see what we can come up with - maybe
a "working vacation" if we had skills that were marketable in
our "dream location" (something that would pay enough to stay afloat
for a month maybe). Maybe look into trading homes with someone in
that area (to cut living expenses a bit). Who knows - that "working
vacation" might translate into an actual re-location/job offer.
I might also get a bunch of info about stuff right in our own
backyard, as it were, that we've never done or seen - new hiking
trails, lakes, etc as well as free musuem days or whatever and
consider ourselves "tourists" right at home.
I might gather everyone and clean and re-arrange the existing living
space to make it feel a bit like a new location.
I might work on the "little things" at home - maybe special meals
or "themed" meals (within the budget - it's surprising how
inexpensively some ethnic cuisines can be prepared for - lots of
things like rice, beans, flour, salt, etc are pretty inexpensive and
go a long way).
I might get a big sheet of brown paper or newsprint or whatever (or
just write on the wall) and make a Thankful Wall - jotting something
each day that I was thankful for, whether it was something big like
finally paying off that pesky credit card or getting over the flu or
something simple like warm slippers on a cold New England morning or
a hot shower or *chocolate* (that one might appear multiple times
lol). I'd invite the family to join in if they so choose.
