25 years is a long time. But now is a good time to start planning for it. I think writing the plan is going to take place over several sessions - it won't be a single event. More an evolved product. So to start things off I have considered some different life categories and written a line a two about what I want in each over the next 25 years.
Family: two more kids and a house large enough they can marry and still stay with us.
Friends: we will have 12 close friends and 24 other very good friends as well as many acquaintances.
Career: earning more than I ever have whilst working less than I ever have. £10,000 per month doing a job I love would do nicely. I might be doing more than one job at a time - maybe have a portfolio career. Certainly I like the idea of blogging for income (not that I earn anything at the moment) but I also think I'll be good at sales. And I reckon I can write a killer novel...
Wealth: for me wealth is partly determined by how much passive income I earn. I'd like half that £10,000 to be passive which means I need something that operates even while I'm asleep. Property lets fits the bill as well as anything which you create once and earn on-going royalties (like publishing a novel). I want £750,000 in cash or near-cash form too - in case I see something nice at the shops.
Health: slim/athletic build, lots of energy, all important organs doing their thang.
Spiritual: I would like a more calm and wise worldview, an accepting nature and a certain peace with the world. I like the Buddhist idea of being free from grasping and acquisitiveness.
Skills: I want to be excellent at a couple of things - selling, poker, writing - and pretty good at a couple more - including fun stuff like magic tricks. This blog's 101 tasks will contain some of them.
Experiences: 25 years from now I will have a life list of 1000 completed tasks. Lord only knows what they'll be though.
