Sooo.... my husband has big dreams. Which I love and refuse to squash, but I do ensure that I bring forward the veil of reality so that he doesn't become disappointed, then look to me and wonder why I betrayed him by not informing him of the facts. Initially, his view was that he would come here, have a great job within a week or two, and all our money problems would disappear. That he would buy a car with his first paycheck and I will not have to do anything and he will take care of me. Also, after a year or so, we will open a business (because we have made like millions of dollars by then) and we will be instantly rich and worry free because our business will be instantly successful... you know, because of all the money we have made in his first year and a half being here. Oh, and also, we will not mortgage. We will save up to buy the house outright in cash (which we will be able to do because of our super successful business). Also, like I have previously mentioned... no boots... just sneakers or clarks...
Now, this all being said, this was his INITIAL view of coming to Canada. My hubby owns his home outright in Jamaica, so it's going to be different for him. But he has come around to being more realistic and has conceded that the best way for him to understand, is to be here. But he will take my word for it... Maybe one day we will open a business, or be rich, or whatever... but for now, we're keeping our feet planted firmly on the ground so that nobody floats away and gets lost...
