Unless you don't want to have kids and are sure of it, started the family. Babies are bloody tiring, and I'd hate to be starting the whole process in my forties!
Also purchased the largest house you aim to own. You don't want to be going into your forties needing to increase you're mortgage furter, with 25 working years left it's time to start the long slow slog of paying the money back not leveraging ever upwards.
Sorted out your pension strategy, again with a view to the fact that you have 25 years left to accumulate enough of a pot to at least avoid total poverty in old age.

Exactly!!All the other stuff is to do before you're 30 as thereafter you're an adult.

I've got 365 days left to have a threesome - not going to happen unless I pay for it I guess 
You could have a threesome at golf but be prepared to let 2 and 4 balls through due to your questionable standing on the course..Back in subject...learn golf etiquette?

I need to tick South America and Antarctica off the list for the full collection.
Hopefully realised that buying shiny stuff doesn't make you happy. I'm convinced there's a slew of people who walk through their life not really considering anyone else other than themselves on the surface, and buy st to make themselves feel better and try to get more liked.
I don't really buy in to the 'should have had kids' because some people might not be able to have them, or have been with someone who didn't want them and I don't think 40 is 'too late' for much, other than an 18-30 holiday

It looks more like a before turning 20 list to me, except from finding love which is something that just happens.
Thats fine... considering Im nearer 20 than 40 I was kinda hoping people would add to the list and offer up suggestions. Then there are less "serious" things that are simpler and more accessible experiences that in my opionion feel much stronger in young age and are very subjective. Skydiving is great for instance, everybody should give it a try, before 40 but why not at 20?
The fact is that I don't see any reason to wait until 40 if you want to do something. On the contrary I think that something simply gets less attractive once you get older. I am 34 now and I won't do most of the things I did at 20, but they made sense at the time...
