Where do you see yourself in five years?

I would like to see myself self employed running a successful writing business where I am writing curriculum for those who need it as well as publishing some books on academic writing. I would like to be self employed because I also want time to do things with my daughter as she goes through school. So, hopefully there will be a nice balance of family and work.It might be a dream but that's what I'm going to work toward.

If not, I can see myself equally happy teaching at a small 2 or 4 year college. My schedule just wouldn't be as flexible in a way. I forsee one of those two paths.

I figure that in five years from now I hope to be off of disability and able to make enough money from home so I do not need to depend on Social Security. I hope to still be writing and maybe I'll have some sort of thing I can talk into and it will input the info for me so I don't have to type so much. With my arthritis, I've found out that my fingers seem to wear out when I type so much.

:-) In five years, I might only be down to one dog and living in an apartment so I won't have this big house to have to keep up with.

In a mirror! Did I win?

But I couldn't resist!

Doing pretty much what I do right now. There will be no significant changes unless the world markets crash, the Dec. 21 thing comes through or some nut sends an atom bomb.At this point my life is pretty determined unless I decide to pick up and go somewhere to keep these legs moving.

The mother of an eighteen and thirteen year old! That excites and scares me! The only thing I know for sure, is that I am going to give the next ten years, everything I've got.

Hopefully alive. To be honest with the economy and aging another 10 years it is difficult to imagine things being better than they were a few years ago.

Hopefully, still kicking. I am past my 60's now and hope that in my 70's I will feel the same as I do now. Www.petsareagift.com.

If in 10 years I just have a home, a wife, and a fair-paying and steady job then I am completely content.

I am 39 years old, and I believe I have learned alot of lessons in the past few years. People say with age comes wisdom and I NOW understand it. My husband and I are "On Our Own."

We always have been, but it took me a while to see that. In the past 6 years, My brother in law, sister in law, nieces, nephew, my mother in law, father in law and my Mom lived with us at some point. We have spent over $30,000 on them all.

And we are not rich, simply work hard, that is all. We have learned we can NO LONGER help family. It has made us struggle financially and we are still trying to pick up the pieces.As of now, we are still struggling and living paycheck to paycheck because of our choices and trying to help everyone.

Now that the lessons have been learned things are beginning to change, slowly. In 5 years I see us being financially settled. I see us never struggling again with money.

The pitiful carpets will be gone and I will have hardwood floors and my house will be just as I dreamed. Emotionally we are "there." In 5 years I see us being even more in tune with life and the beauty of it.

I see us even happier than we are now. Without the stress of money problems, are life will be complete. We have two beautiful children and know we are blessed, now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
