My Coastal Escape Plan: A Smart Investment for Mind, Body, and Wallet

Hey everyone, I may or may not have mentioned this before, but I recently went away for a weekend, and it sparked a new goal in me. I'm now seriously thinking about getting a unit down the coast—maybe in an older building since I live in a regional area. But there's a lot I still need to figure out. First, do I have enough to buy a place? And if so, where exactly do I want to buy? Would I rent it out or keep it as a weekend getaway? I'm leaning toward a unit in a beachfront complex, though it would likely be an older build. There are a few things that are must-haves for me, like a dedicated parking space, a clean pool (and a spa would be nice), a full kitchen, and a bathroom with a proper bath. One quirky preference I have is not having to walk through the lobby with groceries all the time, so a separate entrance for residents would be ideal. However, I do like the idea of having a front desk and housekeeping services available. But how much would that cost? How would I fur...

Weekend Reflection and Moving Forward

 Here's an updated version of your post, incorporating your preferences: --- **Weekend Reflection and Moving Forward** As I write this first draft, it's my first night back from a weekend away.

With NDIS reassessments being a topic we're all discussing, I need to ensure that I’m prepared, as I don't want to risk having to move or find a rental on my own. I'm also trying to figure out what's going on with my YouTube channel. My subscriber count recently dropped from 109 to 94, which was a bit disheartening. However, I need to focus on my long-te...

A great getaway.

https://youtu.be/SRJJHfzbDfE?si=V1BcFy2YD__4yhMZ In my latest vlog, I share the excitement of a weekend getaway—something that every girl needs once in a while! This wasn’t just a day trip; it was a full-on girls' retreat, filled with fun, relaxation, and adventure. What made this trip even more special was that we spent our own money, proving that you don’t need NDIS funding to treat yourself to a refreshing break from the usual routine. The getaway was a perfect reminder that, sometimes, all you need is to pack a bag, grab a friend, and set off on an adventure. We explored new places, enjoyed great food, and indulged in some much-needed downtime, all while bonding and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems or simply relaxing in a new environment, the trip was a beautiful blend of travel and friendship. This weekend escape was a testament to the power of spontaneity and independence. Living with a disability doesn't mean every experie...
