For some reason, the phrase "Don't wish your life away" popped into my head this afternoon. After googling around for the phrase (to see what others had to say about the phrase), I came across a few good paragraphs (just the first three paragraphs) that made me feel comfortable that my goal was not a case of wishing my life away.
First, my goal is attainable. The wife has already agreed to it (although it is possible she could change her mind). Now, it's just a matter of saving enough money to live out our years there.
Second, I am living life while trying to stay on track of my goal of moving to Taiwan in 10 years. My wife and I travel a lot locally and take international trips every year or so. My Mandarin is still pretty weak, and I still continue to push myself to improve. Being able to converse in the language will definitely be a huge bonus. I'm assuming that if my Mandarin doesn't improve, my wife may later become hesitant to move to Taiwan.
