visualization

Does visualization work?  I guess it can't hurt.
I can picture a bigger house with two floors of usable space.  I see my little boys each having their own room.  I see a bathroom between them that they can sneak through to hang out at night. I see the master suite with a killer view, a walk-in closet and a separate bathroom with a great, deep bathtub.  I see an office for me and a playroom for my children.  I see a kitchen with an island and lots of new, clean appliances.  I see a maid cleaning my bathrooms, kitchen and everything else I put on a little list every day.  (I also see myself paying this person very well and tipping on the holidays)  I see a mixture of hardwood floors and carpet, and they are always cleaned of pet hair. I see a big fenced-in backyard with a separate spot for the dogs to run (and poop)  I see us on the end of a cul-de-sac, with almost no traffic and a perfect place for learning how to ride a bike. 
Now for the money...
