The "Life Goal" Thread...

[trowelhead]

Excluding the obvious "live in a nice house and drive a ferrari", what's your lifes burning goal that gets you out of bed in the morning?

Maybe owning a hotel, starting a charity, becoming a chess master... etc.

Being happy. Sounds trite but as you get older you realise that all of the material crap that used to seem to important isn't really.

So I guess in terms of goals, it's being financially secure which removes a lot of worry and offers a lot of freedom.

That's more important to me than the big house and Ferrari.

As much of a cliche as it sounds, my goals all changed when by son was born last year. It's gone from wanting a nice car / house / boat, to making sure my family is well looked after, now and in the future, and my kids can make the most of any opportunities they receive.

Oh, and a Ferrari, I really want a Ferrari.

[Ari]

Yeah, well, I'm working on the basis that if I can get financially secure enough, I can buy a Ferrari with it!

[bazza white]

Buy a boat and sail the world but 35 and single so a running rehind schedule on the family side of life so retiring abroad may be more realistic.

I'd like to make Partner one day at the law firm I currently work for. That'd do nicely.

Nonbody's put threesome yet? This place is going to the dogs.

[towser44]

Become a professional darts player.

[LimaDelta]

To watch my children grow up, be happy and make the most of their lives. You can keep your poxy Ferrari.

That and finish my aeroplane build.

I don't really have any tbh, i tend to focus on being happy in the moment. Don't tend to plan life any further than a year in advance (even then, i'm talking booking holidays!).

I guess i'd like kids at some stage, and it would be nice to actually buy a house...although I doubt that's going to happen before my 40s.

Getting the 3 kids through Uni... the first one heads off in 2.5 years..... and as they are all 3 years apart, the next 9 years of forking out a small fortune has any grand expenditure plans out the window...

After that, buy a Winnebago and go travel the world.. literally, jump in and head off into the wild unknown...

I have a nice house and a supercar but as someone else said as you get older it's much more important to just be happy. In my view someone who has very little but is content is in a better place than someone with a whole lot and a pile of stress.

Stay healthy, spend time with those you love, enjoy your work and be glad you woke up this morning!

[Hoofy]

I want to build something recognisable in the health/fitness industry similar to Pilates or Spinning.

Well, my fear is that my todger will look the smallest. Or isn't that what you meant?

[S100HP]

Live forever. That what I'm aiming for.

[Squadrone Rosso]

Retire no later than 55.

Buy a camper van, tour Europe for a year, sell it, buy place abroad where the winters are warm, keep a smaller place at home.

Live out my life with the wife & dogs.

We’ll be financially able to do this. Doubtful with my health issues though.

At 18 it was buy a house in the place i grew up (house prices went mental there so when dad had to sell i didn't think i'd ever get back there). Drive a Porsche and work for myself.

At 38 i was hit by a pretty decent dose of depression even though i'd accomplished all 3. It made me realise that unless your happy you won't elicit any value from any of them.

A year later my life goals are making sure i'm around to see my kids grow up and expanding my property portfolio to a point where they have something to inherit.

When i changed that mind set i accomplished more this year than i ever have before and enjoyed it far more too.

Happened to me on multiple occasions. Anyway I would like a 6 digit yearly wage in GBP. Not sure how am I going to do it, but everything is possible...

[BoRED S2upid]

I’m firmly in the happiness, security for the kids, give up full time work before I’m too old to do stuff type goals.

[red_slr]

Retire as young as possible and travel as far as possible.
