Do you have a life plan?

Triker

Hi, well you got me thinking, here's a few things that have sprung to mind.

In no particular order.

Become debt free.

Have some savings.

Write a book.

See my children through their journey through life, supporting them financially (where necessary) and emotionally (always).


Travel with my OH to as many places as possible including Las Vegas.

Have a house with a lovely big kitchen.

Get some silkie chickens and speckeldy hens.

Lose weight.

Laugh as much as possible with my OH and children.

Sponser a child or 10 from different countries.

Learn another language.

Contact my friends more.

Stop worrying about the small stuff.

Have a lovely, sparkley, big fat noisy low riding trike.

Cheers

Great idea for a thread. Mine are:

• Finish paying off my debt
• Buy a house
• Find a vocation which I really, really love
• Save enough money to be able to retire at 55
• Spend the rest of my days doing VSO and having the odd non-working holiday
• Be happy

:grinheart Here goes..........

Pay off mortgage in July - if :money: and his great website and Martin's Angels :A had been around before it would have been paid off years ago!

Learn to speak French really well - then Italian.

Live in those countries for a few months at a time after we retire.

See DH in his own sailing boat in 2009 :T

Keep healthy and fit into my old age.

Get a siamese cat.

I would like to;
- enjoy watching my two little boys grow up.
- save lots for their futures (not including CTF money which I will allow them to "p!$s up the wall" when they turn 18). :beer:
- Continue with paying off debts with DFD of 2014.
- finish next 2/3 of MA degree.
- specialise in special needs at work or be really silly and apply for a deputy headship, whilst only ever working a 4 day week!!
- continue on with refurbing new(ish) house until it is the show home I desire.
- have at least 1 foreign holiday a year and frequent short breaks in the UK.
- use my National Trust card for lots of fun and cheap days out.
- try and get on better with OH, who does work really hard so I can stay off work for a year on maternity leave and who I don't appreciate enough!! :kisses3:
- make more of an effort to phone and/or see friends.

Think this is enough for the time being!!!

Mmmm ...have given this some thought and in no particular order

* pay off all credit card debt by 2009
* pay off Firstplus(!) loan by 2014
* then be able to overpay on mortgage and clear it by 2018 (saving 3yrs & goodness knows how much interest)
* see DD do well at school and hopefully go to university
* celebrate our silver wedding anniversary (2015) in the Maldives where we honeymooned
* hope all my family stay well, safe and happy
* retire from my job in retail in 18 yrs at age 57 (will have been there 40 yrs :eek: )

System

I'm at a stage now in my life where my chickens are coming home to roost. So I plan for the worst and hope for the best. Optimistic eh!

I dont really have a life plan - perhaps deal with things as they appear but my priorities currently would be as follows:

i) Spend more time on my hobbies and interests away from work
ii) Make more time to make new friends, and make time for my friends and family
iii) Meet a nice girl who might want to settle down (eventually)
iv) Sort of related to (i) - Sing in front of a live audience
v) Sort of realted to (i) - Exhibit art work and photographs that I've done
vi) Continue running after 22nd April this year and complete a sub 4 hour Marathon at some point in the future
vii) Spend less time concerned with the debt that I have in the knowledge that I'm managing my spending now.
viii) Learn to understand those people who wind me up and not react in a negative way toward them.
ix) Be content and happy with what I have got and enjoy those things in life that are free.

I could just go on and on - but that's a good start. :T
