Here I sit this Sunday morning and feel the life in me! ♥
The duvet in the bed felt unusually fluffy and nice so I still did not step up but got coffee served by Miska! He is sitting and working at the kitchen table with our cat Viktoria in his arms, the sun is shining in, I feel in a really writing mood and in a few hours we will actually go on a house tour and be amazed!
Den här veckan har det blivit väldigt mycket “sitta och nöta-jobb” vid datorn + haft kunder. Så jag har inte så mycket intressanta jobbbilder tyvärr men jag har lyckats få ihop ett inlägg ändå ;)
Starting to look at houses!
A year ago, Miska and I thought that we would not buy anything in Sweden until it is time to realize our Spanish dream! Or Sydafrikadröm which is the new thing;) That we will live in Annika's little guesthouse until then.
Meen there is so much going on now with my hopefully future make-up brand, Miska has started with permanent makeup and we are doing a lot with the salon. So we will not move to Spain in the next year but have decided that we have another Swedish residence in us before we move to Spain.
We have always said that we will move to Spain before I turn 30, so we still have a few years on us;)
Vi började räkna på Sverigehus och om vi hittar “rätt hus” som inte är så dyr i drift så blir månadskostnaden inte mycket högre än vad vi har i hyra idag, om man bortser från amortering på lånet men det betalar man ju “till sig själv” på ett sätt, nya huset blir ju en investering också.
Så när jag insåg att jag kan byta “lekstugan” vi bor i mot en egen villa för ungefär samma månadspeng så blev jag otroligt otålig och vill flytta nuu!
However, there is almost nothing for sale now that we like, even though we do not have such high demands, but if you know someone who is eager to sell and wants to make a smooth deal without brokerage costs, you can suggest;);) ;)
Our wishes:
- Somewhere between / around the Alunda-Uppsala route.
- Gärna lite off, typ i skogen, inget villaområde utan har gärna lite skog inpå husknuten och kan tänka oss åka en bit 5-10 minuter från “stora vägen”.
- Price about 1.2-1.3 million, we can not afford more expensive.
- We would very much like to have superficial renovation needs, ie a cheap house because not very nice but with great potential to increase the value by fixing it. But not renovation needs of the type moisture damage and mold, roof replacement or drainage problems - but rather fix walls and floors and type rebuild an old barn into a sauna and stuff :)
- Preferably an old house, love wood stoves in the kitchen, old stoves and worn wooden floors.
- Does not have to have a large bathroom but it must have room to fix a bathtub somewhere, I do not intend to live in a single home without a bathtub hahaha.
I throw this out in the universe and hope that the law of attraction gives me what I ask for ♥
We were looking at a house with exactly all these properties, but it was so damaged by moisture that the ceiling in the kitchen hung down and the renovation that had been done was so carelessly renovated (electrical sockets were crooked, etc.) so we did not really dare to do it…
This Friday afternoon we took a weekend (I thought I would say but we worked at the salon all Saturday so it was not a weekend hehe) and enjoyed the afternoon sun down by the lake with a coffee thermos.
We talked so much about future houses, wall paints, gardens, my dream bathroom and various stock investments haha. Think what luck that I fell in love with a guy who has the same future dreams as me ♥ It makes it easier haha :) Love to dream like this, it's important!
Healthy relationship with invested money
Last spring I wrote that for the first time in my life I have bought shares! Felt incredibly grown up, right? ;) At the same time it feels a bit like gambling? There is a lot of talk about gambling addiction but have never heard of anyone who is addicted to stocks, you can win and lose money on that too, I think?
Jag är långt ifrån aktieberoende hur som helst haha, jag tycker mig själv ha en ganska så sund relation till dom pengarna faktiskt! Miska och Annika var så oroliga i början när jag blev totalt överexalterad när det gick uppåt “jag har tjänat 50 kronor på en timme nu!!” och blev därför nervös för hur jag skulle reagera om det gick dåligt. Den reaktionen fast tvärtom hade not been fun;)
You should celebrate when things are going well without panicking too much when things are going badly. You never celebrate unnecessarily, happy feelings are always positive! But you have actually neither earned nor lost a single penny until you sell, so provided you do not need the money now and now, it can turn around again.
Honestly, I had to put that theory to the test when my shares suddenly made a dive a month after I bought them! Low minus SEK 23,000 for a while! I do not know what you who read have to do with money, but SEK 23,000 for a small business owner like me, it is kind of equated with a million haha.
Det var verkligen inte kul! Jag tänkte mycket tankar som att “ja men det var ju en bra lärdom i alla fall, dyr men värdefull”. Det kanske låter som att jag fejkar mina optimistiska tankar men för mig är det snarare en överlevnadsteknik, om jag skulle tänka för mycket på hur mycket dom pengarna faktiskt betyder och är värda så hade jag ju gått under.
But it turned back as luck would have it and if I had sold everything at the time of writing, I would have earned SEK 25,000! WOW! It was a good interest rate, for so much money it is not there I can say;)
Here I sat in the car and counted how many days are left until my first dividend! And realized how extremely color matched my cardigan + makeup stains on my hand matched my pants.
Answer yes I have a green scarf and red jacket for this outfit .. If you have spring feelings, you have!
It would be perfect with a house move in early April .. Then I have time to get the dividend, then sell my shares and invest them in a property instead;) iiiiiiih!
The Law of Attraction, can it be TOO strong?
The law of attraction is always talked about in a positive way, but I have noticed a scary connection: as soon as I think less about a business area, everything decreases there, even though all that physical is as before - the only thing that has changed is my thinking power.
I sound completely insane now, I know :)
The economy goes up and down all the time in a company, it is never a straight line. But almost always you know why, e.g. that they did less marketing the month before, that it is January, etc.
But for us it is not so. If I e.g. is on holiday and has prepared everything before: posts are published as usual and the colleagues take care of everything at the salon (otherwise they do). The only difference is that my brain takes time off. What happens? Suddenly the bookings decrease drastically!
It has happened several times and during different seasons, so I find no explanation haha.
Samma med webshopen: Om jag regelbundet går in och kollar rapporterna och statistiken så ökar siffrorna och blir jättefina. Om jag har en period då jag inte kollar ofta (men jobbar på som vanligt ändå) så typ halveras mängden kunder i webshopen. Det enda som är skillnaden är att jag inte suttit och stirrat på siffrorna och tänkt “öka öka öka!”.
Det är ju både bra och dåligt, det är ju ett otryggt företag om det ska hänga på att jag alltid är råfokuserad i tankekraften haha. Men samtidigt så känns det ju trevligt att man kan påverka så “enkelt” också ;)
Am I crazy and / or lacking in faith because I get anxiety attacks?
This is what 85% of the week looked like! The rest 15% has been with customers and in the make-up / photo corner.
Min att-göra-lista är väldigt lång och blandad just nu så jag har varit alldeles vimmelkantig. Jag måste göra en ännu tydligare struktur för nästa vecka känner jag, det har varit allt för mycket “multitasking” nu och det är både energidränerande och oeffektivt i längden.
Hope you liked the Sunday post even though I talked more generally and not as focused on exactly what I did during the week :)
Hugs are!
