Here's the big dilemma of the day. It doesn't look like we'll be able to meet our savings goal for our RTW by next October. So the question is, do we delay going, or shorten the trip? And what about staying one more year in order to save up a whole bunch more money so we can have a huge nest egg. Then we would be set. Money for retirement, a down payment on a house, and money for kids when they come so we wouldn't have to worry.
Of course this would delay our trip by a whole other year. That would suck having to wait longer. And my ovaries aren't getting any younger. Oh there just isn't enough time! If only we were in our 20s LOL. Then we wouldn't have this dilemma. I hate having to balance life priorities.
If we stayed here one more year to save money, it would mean we were more financially secure in the long run. It would also mean that I would be 35 and Hiroshi would be 40 by the time we finished travelling and got back to Canada. That seems so old. :/ The kids would still be at home when Hiroshi retired. And there is always the fear that in the quest for money we'll just put off travelling again and again and never go.
So should we be responsible or just live our dream and worry about the life plan later?

Forty is not old, damnit!
LOL Cal - in terms of having your first child it is. ;) In general terms, you aren't old until you're what... 45? :P~
