Where do you see yourself in...

1 year?

5 years?

10?

20+?

In one year, I'll be finishing up school, and begin my attempt to fund my mission work, which I will be doing so long as I shall live. I imagine I'll have to work a lot to pay student loans off, then for a visa, and the plane over there, plus a house/apt. It will be very tough, but worth it. :)

5 years, I will either be having a good time, helping people left and right, or I will be dead. I think it to be the latter, which is weird to think about. I know where I am going will be a little bit dangerous for me, and might lead me to death, but its like I'm not even too worried about it.

10 years, if I am still alive, I plan on having a permanent church or two set up of my own. I also hope to have a wife by this time, and maybe a kid.


If I make it past 20 years, I think I might have to come back to the US(if there still is one) and trying to find old friends, and see how they are. Then I will try and find someone to take over my mission work in case of my retirement and all. Maybe I'll stay state side at that time, and work on bettering the Church over here. Who knows.

"Mission work"

"Church"

I've heard those words somewhere before.

Well, I five years time I won't be here in front of this computer wasting my life posting on forums... I'll have a better computer. :p

Or some Satanic sect may have recruited me to do the bidding of the Prince of Darkness. Whatever happens, it's all an experience.

Twenty years ... oh, no more "hmmm"s by then. I probably will have been assassinated a few "hmmm"s prior.

One year .... Probably still studying for OT in the Grad program.

Five years ... Hopefully have a job as an OT, and living on my own. Hopefully in the mountains. Will I be married, probably not.

Ten years ... Probably at the same job, instead now married to a Filipina who is barren.

Twenty years ... Same as ten year.

Why waste time and money on being a missionary and setting up a church when you could use these resources to actually help people?

Personally, in one year either finishing Honours in political science or working at some shitty newspaper as a cadet.

Five years, hopefully working at a better shitty newspaper.

Ten years, working at a good paper as a senior journalist.

You see where this is going.

So I'm going to be an Old Testament? PHAIL! :p No, OT means Occupational Therapist.

As to why I want a barren Filipina. 1. I like Asian women, and 2. I don't want children. Seems to be logical for me to want a barren Filipina! :D

I'm not sure cos I usually don't plan things much more than a day in advance.

In one year, I'll hopefully already be in either French Polynesia or French Guinea cos those are places I'd like to go to on my year out.

In five years, I'll have finished uni and I don't really knoiw what I'd be doing after that. travelling round the world would be cool.

In ten years, I'll be 27 if I'm still alive. I know that much. Hopefully I'll be living in a jugle somewhere as a hunter gatherer.

37..ooh the big Three Seven... dunno...

One: Uni, unless a touring or performing option presents itself.

Five: Touring/performing. Maybe married.

Ten: I'd rather like to be married by this point. Either having, or seeking a grad degree, and teaching at a Uni. Kids would be nice to.

Twenty: Very much like ten. Possible midlife crisis and back on tour.

Okay, so I really have no idea.

I have children so in one year, life will be exactly the same.

In five years, my son will be a teenager. I will be buying condoms and trying not to notice that his classmates include hot girls entirely too young for me.

In ten years my daughter will be a teenager. I will be buying a shotgun and trying not to notice that her classmates include hot girls entirely too young for me while paying rediculous college tuition for my son.

In 20 years I'll be ready to retire, assuming that I can afford it after paying for two kids through college. If I can't afford to retire, I'll take up heavy smoking to try and limit the number of years left I'll need to work :P

It's hard to make plans in my current situation, mainly because I can only get 2 year contracts for the job I'm doing. So even though I'm now in the system and the demand for English teachers here is high, one just never knows.

If I could guarantee even just a 5 yr contract, I would buy an apartment on the island I'm living on. What I'm paying in rent each month would pretty much equal the monthly payments a 10-yr mortgage on a decent property would be. It's just dumb not to do it. After 5 yrs, I'd 1/2 own something that would have appreciated in value in that time, rather than having 1/2 paid off someone else's mortgage.
Other thing I'd do is buy a rental at the same time - rent pretty much paying the mortgage, and I can afford to pay both it if it was empty for a month or two.

10 yrs down the track, my aim (if I stayed here, which I'd like to simply because of the money) I'd like to have 2 more rental properties paid for (or at least close to). I could pretty much semi-retire back in NZ with 4 properties here.

in 5 years i hope to have proposed to glitzi, and be living with her. working on my OU degree maybe.

in 10 years i hope to have sold the family business for some cash (going into savings, paying off mortgage, etc), and got a normal job with less stress

in 20 years... who knows? hopefully kids, nice house, friends, a few cool mod-cons, perhaps living somewhere sunny like southern France or Australia maybe :)
and i intend to drive a Jaguar, cos they're awesome :D

5 years? - Bitching on NSG about what brats my children are while my dad takes them on a vacation out of the country.

10? - Trying to keep track of my senile father who cannot decide whether he's coming or going, while bracing for the inevitable teen years, all while being married to the laziest ass SOB, whose biggest contribution will be NOT putting dirty cloths in the basket of clean clothes!

20+? - Still married but I long kicked the kids out of the house because I had to give the extra bedroom to my dad. And still married...

In one year (I'll be 18), I'll be starting at the University of South Florida. It'd be good to have some sort of job by then.

In five years (I'll be 22), I'll be one year away from finishing the program I want to do. At the end of it you get a BA in Chemistry and an MS in Chemical Engineering.

Within ten years of now (I'll be 27), I should have a PhD and be starting my career.

Within twenty years, (I'll be 37). Still working. Yeah. What else would there be?

in one year i will probably be in some meaningless office job saving money for the year travelling my friends and i plan on doing beginning 2009.

in five years i will have returned from my travels and hopefully have gained enough experience in field archaeology to work as a professional field archaeologist and will have become a member of the IFA. i will probably be living in a van at this point.

in 10 years i will either have some sort of supervisor position in an archaeology company or be a contract archaeologist for a council somewhere or i wil have had to quit the dig circuit and found work in some other field. perhaps working in transport. i would hope to have my own flat at this point.

in 20 years i hope to have achieved one of my dreams and be living on a houseboat, perhaps a converted dutch barge. not necessarily in britain though as moorings are in short supply. i would also hope to not be in debt by this time and be financially secure. career-wise i would hope to have found my niche.

If you don't mind living with others, see if you can rent a student house. Rent is much cheaper (I'm paying £260/month at the moment), plus the more people you live with, the cheaper things like internet, phone and tv licence are.

i'll be sharing with glitzi, so she'll contribute to the rent... plus i have a "proper job" now so i can just about afford the luxury of not living with students any more :p

its just a shame to pay your money to someone else when you could pay just about the same as a mortgage each month, and with each payment own more of the house (rather than just giving it to the landlord)... bah.

5 years: teaching at the university level or wandering through the jungles of the Congo doing linguistic field work

10 years: more of the same, get my doctorate, hopefully published by this time

20 years: more of the same, hopefully published a few more times

Alternately, if I go the seminary route (which is unlikely right now, but still possible)

1 year: still at university

5 years: at seminary

10 years: mission work somewhere, preferably in Oceania or Africa, but I'm not picky, hopefully published

20 years: back in the US, lecturing on theology and fundraising for missions 9 months out of the year, going back to the missions 3 months out of the year

I know what you mean. I'm living with my girlfriend (and three others), and together we pay £520/month. Over 25 years (a typical mortgage length), that's over £150,000. Never mind, in two years she'll be earning £20k as an FY1 doctor, and probably around £25k in five years. Should be able to afford a deposit on a house around then. :)

1 - I'll be studying medicine, like I'm doing now.

5 - still not graduated, more studying.

10 - Depends if I specialize or if I become a GP. If I specialize I will probably be combining my studies with working (aka being an assistant). Otherwise I will have graduated and I will be looking for work or working (probably the last one)

20 - I'll be working, probably something in the field of medicine, if I could choose I'd prefer to do something in a developing country, if I can't I might want to start getting into politics if I haven't done this earlier.

that's the school/professional plan, it will be fun looking at it in a few years.

Two options here:

a) About to head off on a big adventure for half a year, perhaps travelling from Singapore to Beijing on a motorbike. When I come back, my honours year in economics.

b) Starting an internship with some company. When I finish, my honours year in economics.

5 years?
As an economic analyst at an investment bank or something like that. I quite like the idea of making money on foreign exchange markets.

10?
Making serious inroads towards getting my net worth towards $10 million. Moving around hundreds of millions of dollars a day, maybe getting involved in the odd leveraged buyout.

20+?
Being filthy rich, maybe married, maybe with a kid or two and definitely with a whole stable of fast cars.

When I retire I'm going to build a race track and host track days, various racing series and the like.

Plus the odd trip to the third world spending money on improving people's lives.

1 year? Starting the second year of my Master's

5 years? Possibly finishing up a PhD (if I decide to go that route)

10? Married with a career (possibly as a prof) house, some cats, a dog or two, hopefully a goat, possibly a kid.

20+? Still married, still with a job, still with pets, still with kids (two of my own and possibly one adopted from a place that has a lot of orphaned/unwanted kids).

In a year, I'll likely be married and hopefully starting school again.

In five years, I'll be married, hopefully will be finishing up school, and possibly will have started a family.

In ten years, I'll be married with kids, and hopefully will have settled into a job that I really like.

In twenty years, I'll still be married with kids, hopefully will have settled into a job that I really like, and will likely be getting ready to send kids off to college.

Other things will happen along the way, I'm sure, but that's what springs to mind.

1 year?

5 years?

10?

20+?

In one year, I'll be finishing up school, and begin my attempt to fund my mission work, which I will be doing so long as I shall live. I imagine I'll have to work a lot to pay student loans off, then for a visa, and the plane over there, plus a house/apt. It will be very tough, but worth it. :)

5 years, I will either be having a good time, helping people left and right, or I will be dead. I think it to be the latter, which is weird to think about. I know where I am going will be a little bit dangerous for me, and might lead me to death, but its like I'm not even too worried about it.

10 years, if I am still alive, I plan on having a permanent church or two set up of my own. I also hope to have a wife by this time, and maybe a kid.


If I make it past 20 years, I think I might have to come back to the US(if there still is one) and trying to find old friends, and see how they are. Then I will try and find someone to take over my mission work in case of my retirement and all. Maybe I'll stay state side at that time, and work on bettering the Church over here. Who knows.

I still think you should leave those poor people alone. They've got problems enough without arrogant Westerners trying to convert them.

1 year - A junior, starting my fall semester.

5 years- Hopefully in pharmacy school.

10 years - A pharmacist, with a stable career.

20 years - Married with kids, if I decide to have any. If not, happy, financial independence, and plenty of good friends to hang out with would be my choice.

every year i ain't pushin up daisies is a bloomin myrical.

when i look to the future, it is the future of my surroundings, not my personal surroundings, but of the kind of world we all have to live in. that is what i think in terms of.

i'm not some kind of saintly altruist. that's just what intrests me and i think in terms of.

if i'm alive i'll be able to see what becomes of, how are affected, the kinds of things i AM interested in. the means of impressing others i find just a wee bit tedius and seldom if ever gratifying.

i am interested in the development and implimentation of environmentally harmonious infrastructure tecnologies. that's basicly what i'm interested in seeing the unfolding of.

as for what kind of condition i'll be in to see all that from, i haven't the foggiest. pretty much depends on a lot of things, but most likely, if i'm not dead, something like now, maybe.

i know where i'd like to be. and what i'd like to be different and what i'd like to be the same.

i'd like to still have access to the internet, but i'd rather be living in a cabin out in the woods somewhere then where and how i am now.

how likely anything is; we're living in a time of greater flux and uncertainty then even the cynics realize. or at least it seems to me like we might be.

at any rate i'm not that many years away from tottering dotage, so i'll be happy just to still be around and able to see what's going on.

Ho-hum, in 1 year graduating from Uni (BA Hons in Deaf Studies) then the future gets a little murkier.

Depending on how much backbone I have (or rather, acquire, as people who know me will attest, I currently have none) in 5years I will either have completed my post grad and be working my way up the ranks of Interpreters or I will be just finishing my postgrad and about to start off up the ladder.

In 10years I hope to be working, maybe married, maybe not

In 20years I hope to be working, though with the short career expectancy on most interpreters I may not be

In 1 year: Finishing up MCSE licensure and becoming an uber-geek.

In 5 years: Leaving the miserable state of Ohio for good.

In 10 years: Going on a game show and winning enough money to retire for life.

In 20 years: Securing my dream job as a...ahem, personal in-home assistant.
