Really interesting comment about realizing that right now is your real life. I also spent years in that mode of "this is just a temporary thing while I get enough money to do what I really want." A couple years ago, I had the same realization: that what I'm doing right now is my real life: the dumb conversation I'm having with my ex-gf, the boring Java code I'm writing at my day job, the hurry-up-and-pay-bills-and-answer-email-and-clean-the-kitchen rush in the morning.
Now I appreciate that stuff better, but I'm also spending most of my time implementing the dreams, and recognizing that the act of implementing--clumsy and distracted and imperfect as it is--is sheer ecstasy. I'm not waiting for the future anymore. I've had only a few tangible results so far, but wow life is way better right now.
