People of Fluther, How do you see your future?
Okay, this is a pretty regurgitated question, but how do you see your future? How do you see yourself, in 3 years, 5 years and 10 years? Also, how are you going to achieve the things you see in your future? Also, how old will you be in 3 years, 5 years, 10 years.
3 years (21) – I see myself in my third year of university hopefully dating a very wonderful man. I also hope to see myself happy both emotionally and physically. I’m going to achieve this by working hard, putting myself out in the dating scene and taking care of myself physically by eating right, exercising and doing what my doctors tell me. :)
5 years (23) – I will hopefully be starting my fifth year of university and working as a sonographer for pregnant women..showing them what their baby looks like! :) I don’t know what the exact title is, lol. I see me working my way through med school. I also hope to be married at that age and working on a family. Living in a nice little cottage in Muskoka. I still hope to be physically healthy and on top of my game. I’m scared of 5 years, but I’m going to live like I’m not because I don’t know my future.
10 years (28) – That would be exciting because it would be past the expectation of me and doctors. I’ll still take care of myself, my family and be a hard worker. I’ll hopefully still be married to my wonderful husband I married at 23, lol. I’m going to achieve this by doing what ever is necessary.
What about you? Our futures are undetermined, but we can plan it like we know what’s going to happen lol

3 years (29) – I see myself working towards a PhD and possibly pregnant with my third child.
5 years (31) – I see myself near the end of my PhD, looking into fellowships and supporting my husband through his further education.
10 years (39) – I see myself teaching college students a course on sociology of gender and sexuality or anything around oppression, activism, civil rights, intersections. I further see myself considering adoption.
3 years – I see my girlfriend and I putting a down payment on a Victorian house in Traverse City or Grand Rapids (we’d fill it with antiques, lots of art; including hers).
5 years – I see my girlfriend or I getting pregnant via invitro. (I wonder if Grisaille is still up for the job of donor daddy, ha!)
10 years – I see myself haven traveled a lot. Created some art. Perfected my French and possibly, my sig and I will have another child. Also, by that time I will have fixed up an old 428CJ Mustang. :)
3 years – Married, four kids, teaching special education to middler schoolers. Hopefully living on the coast in the pacific northwest or maybe Colorado.
5 years – Still married, still four kids, maybe a media specialist in a high school.
10 year – Still married, three grown kids and finally free of my ex-husband’s tyranny.
@jjmah it is imperative that you keep in touch with Grisaille, what a fabulous donor he will be. I miss that guy! Come back Grisaille!
3 year (approaching 30) – I’d like to have a resume that represents some solid work that I have done. I want to be proud of my resume without the help of little white lies.
5 year (sh*t, in my 30’s already?) – Have sent out said resume & if all goes well – get the job. I’d like to be at a place that challenges my skills & asks more from me than I ask of myself.
10 year ( Please don’t make me think about that) Have either moved up in current business to a higher status & busier schedule or applying to a different company that represents the pinnacle of the business.
It’s odd that I don’t picture family/kids in my future. I feel like all I want out of my life is to become the best version of myself that I can be. Because right now, my life feels like it isn’t even ready for beta testing yet.
3 years (32) – I see my family living on an Army post somewhere (who knows where), hopefully with a few more children added to the mix. I hope to be working again in a hospital setting.
5 years (34) – I see us still living on an Army post (though probably a different one than we were at at 32. I think we will be finished having children at this point (or finishing up). Once again, I’d like to be working in a hospital setting.
10 years (39) – I see us preparing for my husband’s retirement from the Army and deciding where we will settle down for good. Once we get settled in one location, I’d like to get my Master’s degree (maybe even PhD) in nursing education and then get a job at a nursing school teaching future nurses.
3 years-I see myself as being taxed to the level of serious resentment
5 years-I see myself as being taxed to the level of true anger
10 years-I see myself as either a political prisoner, or beaten into submission by the state. Like Winston Smith.
3 years (70) I will have a big birthday party with all my grandsons and the rest of my family in San Diego.
13 years (80) I hope I will be babysitting my first Great Grandkids in my beach condo.
On my 90th birthday, we will all have a giant celebration and I’ll fly in any kids, grandkids or such who are scattered around the country/world.
I will be spending my 100th birthday at Disneyland and ride in the carriage with Cinderella
I look forward to many more years.
In three years, I will be 70 years old. If my doctors are correct, I will most likely be dead by then.
In 5 years, if I’m still here, I’ll be 72 refusing to leave unless I have to. : )
In 10 years, I’ll be 77 years old, celebrating the fact that I managed to hang on that long. : ))
In 3, 5, or 10 years…ummm, sorry, I don’t even try to look that far into the future. The world is changing so fast that I prefer to just live one day at a time.
In 3 years, I’ll be 57. Jacqueline and I will be married, I’ll have completed my PhD. J will be working on whatever educational goal she chooses.
In 5 years, I’ll be 59. Hopefully the farm will be profitable by this time. Maybe a child?
In 10 years, I’ll be 64. I can’t really visualize that far out. I hope to still have my health.
How do I see my future? I look in a crystal ball. Should I be doing something different?

There’s nothing good about the way I live. No matter what I do, I’ll just end up dying like a bitch in a ditch. Not because I want to; I do have other plans and I work on them as best I can, but so far, most of my life has been a collection of me not learning anything from anything, despite that I should have learned so many lessons long ago. I just don’t apply them, no matter what dyre bear is slobbering all over my face.
I see myself as a pathologist with a very decent income in the next five to ten years, but the reality is I’ll probbaly live in a motel room with no cable and no chair to sit on haha.
…see your future?
Retired. . .
Amusing the current administration doesn’t screw(f**k) with my wallet…
@Symbeline You ain’t dying in any ditch, not as long as we’ve got guest cottages or spare bedrooms.
I plan to be a certified life coach by mid 2011.
