Do you have a life plan?

My plans (so far):

• Finish MBA (October hopefully after five years!) :j
• Get married (this summer)
• Have a lovely honeymoon
• Get back to my ideal weight so I can fit into my wetsuit again!
• Complete my garden refurb (one patio to go)
• Complete my coaching course
• Complete my NLP training
• Start my own business with my OH
• Pay off MBA debts (Jan 2008)
• Pay off mortgage by the time I am 45
• Have a child (hopefully)

That's at least it for now. I am sure there will be more though eventually

I would like the folowing

• Be debt free by 2010
• never get into debt again, always pay cash
• Make sure my daughter is happy and i can always afford to give her what she wants/deserves
• Home Improvements
• Be able to afford to have a nice wedding abroad, no help from either family, and pay for both mothers to come
• Pay off an extra £1k per month off the mortgage, the quicker it is paid off the quicker we are totally debt free, plus will be hell of a lot cheaper, think of all the interest

Well i wrote this yesterday as a brief and as soon as i got home i started talking to my partner about it, he thought it was a really good idea to get 1 set up so tonight we are going to sit down and do a joint "Life Plan" prob only be a 5 year plan though, i am 25 tomoz so abit young to do a whole life plan, but i think some goals i want to achieve before i am 30 would be good, will have to see if my partner has the same goals as me.
Also thank you LIXI for putting "Wills" in your plan, i keep meaning to do mine I can start briefing mine tonight:T

ok - been thinking about this a lot recently and I'm sure it'll continually be revised as things change and time passes... but here we are as of today!

Short term and ongoing:
Lose the rest of the weight I need to - 8 1/2 stone gone - 4 1/2 to go!! :j :T
Keep working at being debt free
Start fertility treatment - hopefully end up with 4 children but hey 1 would be amazing!
Stay as healthy as possible
Keep working on my marriage - just got back together after being separated for a year :T
Be happy!

Longer term:
More training to lead to better income - not sure in what yet - maybe do my Counselling Diploma
Getting debt free
Buying our own house
Start own business
Have enough money so we don't have to worry about it all the time
Raise a happy healthy family
Have a happy healthy marriage
Move to Cornwall
Have some chickens, grow my own veggies and generally become a bit more self sufficient

Think that's it!!

I'm not sure about life plans, myself. It takes the fun out of the unexpected.

Even though I have listed some things I would like to acheive, I can relate to that! :beer:

2 Pay off all my debt between now and the end of 2008.
3 Give up work and move to Egypt!
4 Spend most days in the sun, on the beach, lounging about in tea houses during the evening and generally enjoying my freedom.
5 Work for 3 months each year in the UK and use that money to travel the world.
6 Oh, and the usual...meet the love of my life, lose weight, look good naked, etc, etc...

I have several things "on the go" that I'm working towards which will hopefully lead to a bright future.

But I'm wary of putting the pressure of "lifetime goals" on myself. The best laid plans and all that. Far better to live in the NOW and accept what life gives you and then work with it or around it.

That's a typical cat philosophy!
