Your Priorities

i am 27 this year. and i am going to be in my 30s. and i have no idea why time would elapes so fast. and i do not have too many life goals. i work and rest. and i wish i could find some body to get married in recent years.good luck to you and me.

Hi MOMMASAM, When I was 20, all I want to do is to finish my course and geta great job..I did it and now in my 30's I wanted to go back to school and get another course, I wish to be stable again after quitting my job before my 40's..lol

I will be turning 30 in less then a month and priorities are something I've been thinking alot about and working on. God and my health are two that need to be much higher on the priority list then they've been in the past. Even though I really need to be making money... getting my house in order is now at the top of the list too. Once my house is in order I will be able to function much better.

Oh yes I can see my priorities changing with age. In my teens it was all about friends, doing well at college and having a good time. In my twenties now my priorities are my career, family and unfortunately my health. I have some health issues which I am battling, and my fertility could be affected by this condition. My current priority is to remain in good enough health to remain employed and to have children in the future.

Priorities certainly change as we age and evolve. In my teens my only priority was running as fast as I could away from my crazy azz mother. Achieved that one but ran into the fist and boots of a crazy azz husband. In my twenties my priority was to become a "real" adult. Learn to be self-sufficient and play hard. I sort of did both and got an education, two sons, and another crazy azz husband in the deal (he didn't have fists that hit though). In my early thirties my priority was to become financially secure, this changed after a shooting. In my late thirties my priority was to become physcially and emotionally healthy again, relearn to use the body I was left with changed though it was, get more education and become financially secure without benefit of male input. In my forties my priority was to rebuild my life spirtually, emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically from the ground up. Stumbled a few times but for the most part I learned valuable lessons through that decade. Now I am in my fifties, I will be 51 next month. This decade is for building my future. My priority is to build and replenish my retirement funds lost through bad marriages and bad decision making. It is to have fun in my work life using all the skills and talents I have learned along the way. It is to enjoy the grandchildren I am bound to have (first one due in October). It is to build on all the foundations it has taken this long to lay.

My priorities seem to be all financial. I want to pay off my truck, get caught up on my rent and bills and pay off my credit card debt. And eventually maybe even buy some land. By the way Congrats on getting pregnant. I have a 4 month old little girl, Our first.

im just 20 so as of now im just concentrating on my studies and have decided to marry the one whom i love very shortly after my studies then job.. its all in GOD hands that what should happen in my future..

Yes, really priorities change in every phase of life. When I was a child my only priority was to get 1st rank in my class. I got married early and was a mother when I was 19 so my priority was my daughter, then my son came, now my priority was my children. But now I am in my 30s and my priority is now money as we have been cheated by our own in laws and I want to show them that we are not living upon their mercy and we can also live on our own. So as for today my priority is to live life on my own terms and earn money and prove myself.

In my 20s it was all about partying and hanging out with friends. I was working full-time, in a good job, earning my own money but wasting it away on booze, clothes and other meaningless things. I was in a relationship that turned sour after seven years and got me into a lot of debt, I was depressed and went on a drinking binge. If I hadn't met my husband then, I don't know where I would be now. Got married when I was 30, had our son when I was 31 and moved two countries in the process. We have been trying for another child for several years but have not been blessed. We will keep trying :)

During past 12 years since I attended preliminary school, my priority is never else but score, I made great efforts to get the number 1.But now ,as a senior, my priority has changed ,I care more about my ablity, whether I can deal things in more effecient way and whether I can meet as many challenge as possible so I can taste more from bitter life and improve myself constantly. Plus, having a good boyfriend is also one important thing in my recent years,hehe.

Well im not out of 20's yet im 24 my priorities now are my children and I cant see that changing ever, they will always be my number one prority and everything else I want or need to do will come second. They are only 4 and 2 years old so need me for a while longer yet as their needs come first to mine while they cant look after them selves.

Well, I set different priorities for different purposes. So I will list down the priorities in order of priority Professional:-To get promoted to executive by next year Personal:- To buy a house and find a suitable match for myself in the next two years Educational:- To complete my PG in management by next year This is my current target list

My priority today is my family. I think they have been my priority even before. But yes, some things changed like I have to prioritize now exercise and dieting if I want to maintain my good health; whence before I eat anything I wanted. As one grows older, there are certain limitations to activities which require stamina nd vigor. Talk about getting old with grace..lol...

I agree with you. I also believe that life is control by myself.In my 30's, almost is study at school. It's very interesting in my study life, I feel more relax to study lot of informations. now I still love study and teach students to get knowledge. my life is very normal and quiet. I like it very much.

In my 20's school was very important. Now that I am in my 30's, I am 32 to be exact, I'm starting to think about returning to school to get a graduate degree. But mostly I am focused on becoming economically self sufficient and maybe engaging in some serious romance which has been missing in my life for the past 5 years or so. I think that by the time I turn 40 I will be really focused on wanting to have a family and do that whole thing with of course career and activism still occupying a lot of thoughts.

In my late teens, my priority was to have a family. In my 20's, I had 2 children, and they became my priority. In my 30's, my priority became to devote more time to my marriage, not just the kids. In my 40's, I was looking forward to retiring, and doing the things I enjoy. As I approach 50, I finally got the chance to retire. Now, my priority is myself, making sure I give myself the chance to succeed at something I want to do, spending time getting to know the man I love, again, and making sure I have no regrets when it is my time to go. I am sure, at some point, my priorities will change again but, I am not there yet so...I am living for this moment, this day, this week and this month, as they come.
