A winning lottery ticket (because then I’d travel the world).

Student loans and monogamy traditions :)

No man can become prosperous while he really expects or half expects to remain poor, for holding the poverty thought, keeping in touch with poverty-producing conditions, discourages prosperity.

Insecurities, nothing else.

Nothing is holding me back emotionally.

Financially, I got over four more years of alimony holding me back.

Fear would be a main thing, laziness, some parts of society although the main part is probably me.

Nothing. I have everything I ever wanted, a family, a house with a pool and a white picket fence in California, and relatively good health.

Now I am starting on a whole new set of wants, but they are more like Fantasy dreams that take lots and lots of money, not things I actually believe I’ll ever get.

family, anxiety, lack of ego, laziness (just a bit of procrastination)

My responsibilities to others and $$. I’ve been lucky to have as much freedom in my life as I’ve had. No regrets.

Career-wise, only time. I’m in the field I want to be in, learning at an exponential rate, and I just need some more experience to get where I want to be.

I really want to move to another city, but I’m the only person who helps an elderly relative take care of herself. Until I can afford to move both of us out of town, I’ll be living here. Currently I’m in DC, but I really want to live in Charleston, Savannah, or Austin.

Fear, money, reluctance to spend money, resistance to change.

Fear. Insecurity. Depression/BiPolar. Not being able to read people and not standing up for myself.
