Hi Guys!
I just want to share "myself" to you...
Within 5-10 years, I am really looking forward to have my family still intact together. I would love to see my parents enjoying her life as we take care of them. Also, I would really like to see my siblings finish their college and have some career in which they really like.
I am hoping to be stable at that time and have a family of my own already. Two kids would be good and a husband who will love me as we get older and take care of the kids.
Maybe, within 5 years, we could loan and get a new home for us. I like to see that I am working in another job or company on where I could share all my interest and knowledge.
What about you guys? What are you looking forward within 5-10 years of your life.
Cheers!

I am looking forward to being with the girl i love together, and make a family. I will have a job, she will have a job if she wants and we will have children. I imagine us being the happiest couple that has ever been, and i am praying to God all these will occur soon. The years to come, and all the years of my life I wanna stay next to her, to love and protect her.

I really look forward to seeing my son graduate from high school and him getting a career that he really wants to do. He will be graduateing in 10 years. I love to watch him as the years go by for he is so smart and I believe he can do anything he puts his mind to.

Kids out of school, retirement, traveling, doing volunteer work, house paid off, less stress, more free time (but probably not more money lol)...

Well 5 years from now my youngest will be in full time school, and my children will be slightly less demanding (I hope). I will be able to work outside the home, so hopefully our financial situation will be improved.
Other than that I really don't expect or desire much change. I just hope we all remain happy and healthy, and I pray my oldest doesn't fail a grade between now and then. I hope he can graduate high school (in another 6 years) and enter college. I hope he can find a great job after college.
My other children I'm not so concerned about because they are very bright, although I know things change and they may lose ambition, so I hope that doesn't happen.

In 5-10 years from now, I would have financial freedom and I won't need to work anymore. I'd have a nice home, expensive cars, an impressive investment portfolio, a number of successful businesses a charity/home for the seasoned citizens. Also, I want to see my family still strong and healthy so that we can all enjoy the fruits of my hard work.

I just hope 5 - 10 years from now I have my own business and not be just an employee. I also dream that I am able to provide for the education of my kids. Like you I also dream that my family will still be intact by then.
Keep dreaming and God Bless.

Hello there sweetie. I see that you have certainly planned your future life really well and I pray that you will be able to achieve them all. As for myself, I think that within 5-10 years, I would want to have a Managerial post or Assistant Managerial post or something. And before that, I intend to pursue and get my Degree first in Engineering.
Getting married in future would be good, but it really is not in my cards right now, though that may change, depending on what God has in store for me.
I think that this discussion is really good and it makes me reflect on my future life pretty much. Take care and have a nice day there. :)-

Well in 10 years God willing my two older kids should be in college and my youngest will be 14. Hopefully I will be able to ride around with my husband on the back of his bike. Hopefully our house will be paid for or nearly paid for. I look forward to traveling.

I'm hoping I can find a way to fund my education. That will save me more than anything. I was just offered my own financial advisor for like 6$ a month, from Wells Fargo, the timing of the offer, was perfect, so I accepted. I've been wondering if someone could help me. Now I'm looking to find out if this financial advisor can help me, to get the necessary funds or loans for education, and for a mortgage. I hope in the next 5-10 years, I find somewhere I really want to be, and live, and grow, and set down some solid roots. And build the life I've always desired.
Get involved in volunteer work, get involved with the community, know my neighbors, garden, and help improve the world that is around me, because I enjoy it and what to be apart of it. I don't enjoy the city I'm in right now...

I am hoping my parents still healthy as they are now. They are in their sixties so health is the most important part in their life now. Hope my sister graduated and had a nice job for her. Hope all my family also had good health and career.
For myself, I hope I can be more active and more persistent about after something. Had good health and better job or at least my internet making money online take off and I don't had to work anymore. (fat chance)

In 5 - 10 years... wow that is a long period. Hmm... I think within 5 years I would like to have a couple of books published and popular. I would like to see my kids graduating from college or trade school and entering careers and lives that they truly want. I would like to be making a good online income and a good residual income from my afore mentioned published books.
I still imagine us being Full Time RVers, as I don't see giving up this life. Maybe within 10 years I might like to even own my own campground and run it.

Books? Wow! I hope to read that book within 5 years. Yes, me too, I like to see my sister and brother have their career after they graduated in college.

I would hope in 5 or 10 years that I would have gotten married and started a family. I'm getting to the age where it's going to be too late to have children and I wouldn't mind starting a family. But, I don't want to have a child just because I might not be able to have one in 10 years or so. I can always adopt an older child. Also, I hope to be making more money and be more independent from working, too.

Well in the next 5 - 10 years there are a few things that I would like to see, I would like to see myself living somewhere where I am happy and feel that I belong. I hope to have some kind of a job too as my kids will all be in or leaving school, either a job just to earn some money or a job doing something that I really want to do. I also hope to see myself achieving some qualifications, I failed my school exams and so I hope to be able to retake these and start putting some of the mistakes I made back right!!

I've been working away from my family for quite sometime. So I would love to be financially stable 5 years from now so I could stay in the Philippines with my family. And of course, all the best for my family and friends...
