The Cost of a Dream





Dreams will always be dreams. Dreams of expensive cars. Dreams of big homes. Dreams of better jobs. Life would be worthless without a dream.

But what does a dream cost. One would think nothing. A little time and concentration maybe. Maybe not. It depends on your dream appraisal. It depends on your future plans. It depends on what your happiness is worth to you.

Pursuing a dream can be a major decision. Chasing dreams take time and resources that we work very hard to skim by with. One must consider the what ifs before that leap of faith. What if my car breaks down? What if the economy gets bad? What if I don't get a bonus this year?
What if can turn into financial strain, foreclosure, divorce, bankruptcy, crime, and/or imprisonment. People lose friends and family over dreams. Somewhat costly depending on what you value.

So you tell me, is dreaming free? It depends on the result. If you win, everyone cheers. If you lose, everyone boos. Do you do it for them or for yourself. Do you risk financial peril to reach your star. Is the cost of a dream worth it to you?
