With another year hurling about, where do you want to be five years from now? Or would you rather be doing the same thing?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) December 11th, 2016

With each year, you have one less year to do whatever, have you thought about what you would be doing five years from now, if you made it? Would you hope to do something different, something better, think you will be doing worse, or simply be doing what you are today with basically no change or improvement?

Doing the same thing only more of it, with less time left to have to do it.

I dream of living on the big island Hawaii up on the side of the volcano overlooking Kona with a 180ยบ unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean.

I just saw this one last night for only $879K

fyi, @HC, you mean hurtling, not hurling.

I’m pretty happy with where I am in life now, though I know I wouldn’t be happy with stagnating for 5 years, so it’s hard to say. I don’t exactly know what I would want to change. Here’s what I do know I want:

- No further hospitalizations would be awesome
– Want to still be in a technical role at work (i.e. I don’t want to get “promoted” into a more managerial role). I hope to feel a lot more like I know what I’m doing at work – I expect I will – and maaaaybe to get promoted to Senior software engineer? That’s probably a reasonable thing to expect to happen in 5ish years. I could see myself being happy still at the same company, but a lot happens in Start-Up World in 5 years so who knows.
– I love my apartment and my location, but in 5 years I might want to be at least thinking about a house.
– I want to have a cat.
– I don’t think I want to be married yet, but I would like for us to at least have talked about next steps in a practical sense.
– I want to be published, somewhere, for something.

@gondwanalon I pray you achieve that, however, at that price i would expect some property, a least a 3rd of an acre.
