10 years from now......

Post by lorin »

Where do you see yourself? Where do you hope to see yourself? What do you see yourself doing? Are you happy with the status quo?

Me.....I see, at least I hope to see changes. I have stopped saying plan and started saying hope. Plans get broken, hopes get fulfilled.

Geographically, I KNOW I will change, hopefully find an area of this or another country that is more conducive to my personality. A place far from any city.

If you asked me 10 years ago the same question, I would have never said I would be at the same job doing the same thing and looking at a 20 years retirement. But life is like that, and now I am just a few years away from that 20 years. So hopefully, in 10 years I will happily drawing a pension and exploring the grand world of unemployment.


10 years from now I hope to be in a new committed relationship, but I no longer plan for that. I do plan to expand my circle of friends, people who are interested in things that I am interested in, not just casual friendships of convenience that I have now.

10 years from now I hope to be involved in an animal rescue or environmental rescue organization. I feel like I need to be in a positive helping environment that does NOT involve people, welfare, homeless, etc.

!0 years ago I planned to be a published author, now in 10 years I just hope to have a finished product. Life is like that, grand plans become grounded hopes.


Anyone else care to share?

In ten years I will drink the Brunella di Montalcino reds that I just bought and put into the cellar.

In ten years I will hopefully pay less for the house.

Within the next ten years I plan on getting two English Bulldogs.

A few steps up the career laddder wouldn't be bad either.

A bit more time to make music again would be nice as well.

And maybe more space to built a real HUGE outdoor enclosure for a big guinea pig family.

But as long as my family still is healthy in ten years I won't complain about much.

I hope to be out of Denver and to be independently wealthy. And I want to travel.

I hope to be *in* Denver, and retired or semi-retired.

Past that, I dunno. I hope I will have visited one or more of the places on my short list by then. But I might leave one or two for a post-retirement trip.

I hope to buy a place to live, free and clear, before I retire. Because that would cut my monthly expenses by a significant amount, and I don't want to take either a rent payment or a mortgage payment into retirement with me.

I hope to be surrounded by kind people who share my interests.

And I hope that neither of my kids is living with me -- or has dropped a baby on me to raise. :lol:

:lol: This is what I keep saying about movie theaters. Doesn't matter if you see a movie in the multi-expensive-plex or the crappy local dive theater. Once the lights go down, you're somewhere else anyhow. 8)

Lorin, I'd actually thought about offering to Cag to buy his place. But I don't know that the timing would mesh....

Well, I'm not a Bending robot, and when I'm not having sex I'd at least like a nice place to rest.
