Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? 10 years from now?

Well I know for starters that I will be a parent within that next time period as we are expecting in November of this year. While it will be difficult to say the least, I believe that having a young one around will help me to gain better perspective on daily things in my life. Like yourself, I’m looking to be both out of debt and financially independent as I’ve been working my way back from credit card debt for the past few years and I will finally be done paying them off next year.

I’m hoping to obtain online writing job in the sports arena so that I’m not totally reliant on the on the company I currently work for. There are many things I want to see happen in the next 5-10 years but these are the ones that I think about on a daily basis.

I hope that in 5-10 years I, like you, will be financially stable. I hope that I’ll be making enough money to not have to be scared about paying the bills each month. I hope that I will have sold this house and made enough to pay off the mortgage and also have some extra to put away for security.

I hope to be living in a nice one bed room apartment. It would be so nice to not have to worry about lawn mowing, house maintenance, high electricity bills and five dogs. I probably will have one dog or maybe a cat.

I haven’t decided yet. I’ve been a dog person all my life but have come to realize they are also a lot to take care of, especially since I am by myself now. With a cat, I won’t have to worry about walking the dog or anything.

I just hope I might be happier than I am today.

I believe that in 5 years I will be working in the full time in a marketing firm, which will hopefully be reaching out to cancer patients and their families. I will also be running my non-profit and focusing on my writing career in any way I can. However, I think in 10 years the concept on my non profit will grow and we will become the only Facebook for cancer patients and their family.

I also hope to be comfortable, but not rich because even the richest person is lonely. So, having a home, food, and my children are what matters to me. I do hope that I will be here to see them grow and my future grandchildren, but with my past cancer battle I know I am no longer promise tomorrow.

Therefore, I have chosen to shape my future by making the most of everyday that I am given. I do hope that my future is bright and in 5 or 10 years as I continue to mold my professional and personal goals.

While 5 or 10 years more might not be a guarantee I do still have a number of goals. They are: In 5 years: 1. I would like to have lost some weight 2.

I would like a full time teaching contract 3. Married 4. A house just outside of the city 5. Kids - hopefully 3 :) 6.

I would like to go camping more. 7.NO DEBT except for a mortgage In 10 years: I want to be able to give my children some of the same experiences that I had growing up. I would love for them to try as many sports or activities as they can.

I would love to travel and show them as much as the world as I can. I want to scuba dive, sky dive, go in a hot air balloon, go whale watching, and perhaps swim with the dolphins again! I want to experience as much as I can and give those opportunities to my children also.

Well, hopefully I will still be alive. I found out a scary statistic about psoriasis the other day. 43% of people diagnosed with psoriasis has a heart attack or stroke within 10 years of being diagnosed.

I’ve had it 9 years now. So, I would like to continue my healthy turn around and lose the last 20 pounds I want to lose. I want to finish my book.It is fiction but is also loosely based on my first marriage.

I’ve also considered writing a screenplay based on my book. I think it would be a great movie that a lot of women who are being abused would identify with. A dream my husband and I have had for awhile is buying a house in the country that has a little bit of acreage with it.

I would like this to be a reality.

I hope we can keep this house--not only for 5 to 10 years, but for the rest of our lives. I actually love what I am doing now and hope I am still freelance writing indefinitely. I wouldn't complain if I got some private clients who paid me more, though!

We are already married with the house. It is too late for us to have kids. Retirement is still 20 years away.

I do hope my husband is working tomorrow, let alone five years from now. He has been looking for a year now. He was laid off from his last security guard job, and very few security companies are hiring these days.

We live in a bedroom community, so there is not much to guard around here. He could commute, but gas is so expensive it would almost be better if he stayed home.

Pretty much doing what I am doing now. I am pretty set up in my ways and job and my financial security is there. I will continue my business and maybe in ten years have to slow down with the physical part but I will go as long as I can and push it.As the old saying goes-Keep it moving.

And I intend to. When I was young I worked two jobs during the week and had a weekend job. That is the time to put things together when you are young.

And with the direction of the Country these days I would take that as far as I could these days. You don't want to be that old guy in the food store because you need the insurance. I think the real question is do you want to work when your young or when your old.

In allot better heath for starters. In five years I will be 55 and still hopefully be to be an active member of the human race and be a teacher on an Indian reservation. Then in ten years, retired, , wait not retired, semi retired teaching and learning on an Indian reservation.

Maybe writing for NG, and doing research. Definitely working on another degree. I am hoping to live in Alaska and or Maine in 10 years and if I am in Alaska I want to learn from the local peoples.

Being free is what I live now, except that I have 6 furry babies. But I am not beholding to 9-5 or school. I live a bohemian life now, I just want to see what I can.

Oh and I would love to snorkel the Aegean.

I can't say what will really happen, but I do have some goals that I think are attainable. I've spent a lot of time in the past few years assessing my goals, and deciding what is realistic. I'm done with just dreaming about things rather than working to make things a reality.So, these are the goals that I think I will achieve: Five years: -Buy a home, outside of the city.

We are both sick of the city and all of the people. -Be done with graduate school, and starting a new career -Be married -Planning for kids -Out of debt, except for the mortgage Ten years: -Raising kids -Established in career -Traveling often Getting away from people is a big goal for me, and I see myself out in nature a lot more after I finish school. I loathe crowds and traffic.

Getting out of debt is also a big one for me because I hate dealing with large corporations and my ideal situation is only needing to manage a checking account, a savings account, and utility payments. I feel like I spend at least an hour a month dealing with some incompetent company trying to collect money from me but completely bungling the account (we correct the cable company literally every month). Really, what these goals represent to me is freedom!

In five years, I want to be free. In ten years, still free.

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.
