    Do you still have any goals in your life?

    Do any of you still have a goal or goals left in your life?

    Everything that I ever had on my "do before you die" list (barring dating several Miss World's) has been completed. I have no goals left. Strangely, I don't really see that in itself as a bad thing, as I'm content.

    But I wondered, do any of you still have a personal goal(s) left - something you want to achieve, and not the standard "I want my kids to grow up happy" kind of stuff.

    So, comedy ones (like the Miss World thing above) aside, what serious goal(s) do you still have on your list?

    Retire at fifty, do a full time masters and then a PhD on ancient Rome and then hopefully get something published and carry on in research.

      1) To travel (have a very large list of countries)
      2) Learn to scuba dive
      3) Learn to sail
      4) buy a boat
      5) Get married

      But I am only 28, so i hope i have a lot of time to achieve the above.

        Hmmm ...

        I want to win the European SCA sword fighting title.

        I want to be completely debt free (inc mortgage).

        I want to be able to do 100 burpees in under 10 minutes
        I want to be able to do 100 press ups without stopping
        I want to be able to a single handed press up.
        I want to be able to a single handed pull up.

        I would like to get my chess ELO to 2000 but it is not that important I guess or I would devote more time to it.

        I want to buy another house with bay windows etc which is what my wife dreams of.
