    nice thread IA!

    I don't really have a life plan as such but I do have a list of 50 things I want to do before I die!!! Won't list them all now...

    I'd like to
    -find a wonderful man and have two or three bundles of trouble!
    -pay off my debts before my birthday in october and never get into bad debt again
    -go on holiday once every year through saving up
    -be happy and healthy for the rest of my days

    not necessarily in that order though! :rotfl:

    Get the majority of house improvements done this year (all would be nice but don't know if possible).

    Pay off debt built up when I went to college last year by time 0% runs out (could be paid off now but money is currently sat in a high interest account;)

    Complete college courses currently doing and probably do some more in Sept when youngest starts f-time school :j

    Sometime in 2008 (when depends on studying, exams) find part-time job with school (ish) hours.

    Go back to Florida for our 10th wedding anniversary in 2009 (we married there)

    Pay off mortgage at latest by 2020.

    1. get thin (again).
    2. write 2 assignments for hand-in on 5 April.

    Can't really think beyond longer than about a week usually, which is why, I suppose, I'm incredibly disorganised and my nickname is "lastminute.com".

    Oh, and

    3. get married, hopefully a full-on tacky thing in Vegas.

    It's nice to see that a large proportion of our life plans DONT involve money! As they say, the best things in life are free!

    These are my goals/dreams

    - Save as much money as possible to pay for wedding and clear some debt.
    - Get Married April 2008
    - Keep saving like mad to pay off some more if not all debt so we can start trying for a baby and I can leave the stress of London and be a full time mum.
    - Have a baby before I'm 30.

    Mine are:

    -have another 2 children (although hubby would like that to be just one more... we'll see about that!!)
    -obviously pay off all our debts
    -move to a large family house within next 3 years
    -have lots of success in my career
    -eventually to live somewhere warmer and cheaper but not for a long time as there's money to be made in this country first!
    -retain my health and fitness as much as possible
    -get slim again...

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good thread IA,I would love a life plan,but being so disorganised,I couldn't even think of one :p
    I just want to be able to see my children grow into well adjusted adults,with not too much trouble along the way,I would love another child,but feel maybe I'm too old now :confused:
    I would love to say I would be healthy,but that's never going to happen,unless a miracle cure is found :rolleyes:

    All I really want is an easy life :rolleyes: :D
