As the title of the post suggests I'm struggling at the moment with a hole in my life.
Although I'm not financially wealthy by any means my family is relatively comfortable however my Wife works and I still work on growing my company. I can do whatever I want each day so I have freedom in that sense but it's not enough.
I have two young children so our lifestyle is reminiscent of most families in that situation. School runs, living for weekends etc.
My frustration stems I suppose from our location. We live in Liverpool, UK and although it's a relatively vibrant city the weather is dreadful. I absolutely detest the winters and I've im honest the summers are not much better. Might get two barbecue weekends a year.
I really love to travel but the most holidays we can afford outside of school term is usually 3-4 weeks worth.
Living here I can't think of anything I'd like to do of a weekend than drink or eat in restaurants etc. It's usually raining or something so spending much time outdoors is nothing to get excited about for me. If I had more money I still couldn't think of anything I'd like to do living here which worries me.
For a long time I've been excited of moving abroad to a better climate. Maybe Spain. That would mean uprooting us all away from friends and family. A somewhat scary thought. I'm currently working to generate enough money to spend every school holiday out of the country in a sunnier climate. That will cost £20,000 a year however and its only around 10 out the 52 weeks in a year.
My business is 100% online and I've got 3 staff. I generally work from home most of the week so I very rarely meet anybody.
Another side of me thinks is it something else that's missing rather than the location. If we all moved to a new country would that fill the void?
Is there such a place where I would just be happy waking up?
