open up our own oil feilds back up so we dont have to cowtow to other countries.
Start the windpower projects . which would save alot for every one but it does take time to get tehm built.
bring our factories back and get people back to work!.
I have done every thing else .

I don't really know what I want to happen but it's funny you say five years because my life seems to be on a five year schedule.lol. My life changes very drastically every five years in good ways and sometimes very bad..I never know.lol.I know it sounds silly but my children are each five years apart..my relationships usually last for five years..I have taken a HUGE unexpected trip every fifth year..Strange huh...I feel like I'm in that one movie with Jim Carrey..lol..not really but my life does have a way of changing on schedule.

In next five year you can buy a home, a car you can fullfill some of your dreams. Can get married, can get divorced. Lot of things can happen in coming five years how can we predict. After all we all are human beings. And we all are playing drama of life and this world is our stage. But our main thread is in hand of god. Gos knows when he is going to pull us.

This is a great discussion topic! I used to keep an updated five year plan, but I stopped for one reason or another.
In the next five years, I'd like to:
(1) get married
(2) finish remodeling my basement
(3) graduate from college
(4) pay off my vehicle
(5) pay off my credit cards
(6) have my teeth fixed
(7) have more book contracts
(8) have my art work displayed in a gallery
These are listed in no particular order. :-)

I would like to think in the next five years I will have met all the goals that I am working towards right now. School, savings, and out of debt. At that point I should only have one debt to work on which would be feasible compared to the here and now. And I would like to have my first published work in that time as well.
Perseverence.

Wow, a lot can happen in five years. Over the next five years I want to become virtually debt free. I want to own a thriving small town newspaper. I want to see my oldest son either graduating college or nearing graduation. I want to see my husband working full time rather than part time at a job that he really loves, enabling him to leave the full time job he has now and hates so much. I want to have several things done to my house and possibly be in the process of buying a newer home in the country. And most importantly I want my family to be HAPPY.

Hey annjilena! In the next five years I would just like to
be able to maintain my health for one! I would like to be able
to pay my bills and not have to worry so much about where the
money will come from to pay them! I would like to be able to
relax and enjoy my life without so much stress and hope that
the world will start to be a better place in every way. I would
like to see that happen before I am too old to still enjoy life!

I see myself a successful person after 5 years. I am a graduate student from college last 2008 and had successfully passed the licensure examination for that. I am planning to teach in public school by opening of classes. As of now, what makes me busy is that I am tutoring kids in their lessons to school. I also have my online job here in internet. And sometimes, students go here in our house also to ask me to do some typing jobs for them and some research works. Through those thing, I help my family in augmenting family's income. Life is so hard nowadays, and I want to give all my best just to help my family and support my youngest sister in her studies in college. I can say that I must be responsible person because sooner, my elder sister will be married and I will be the one to take care of my family. Because of that, I must be flexible and find also some part time jobs and not depend on the income on teaching alone.
Me and my boyfriend had an agreement that as of now, I must have an experience in teaching here in my country. After 2 years, then we will process my papers so we can be together in their country. We are planning to get married and have kids in the future.I can see myself as a person with pleasant disposition in life. I can see myself enjoying in my career while living with the man I love and supporting also my family even I am married.
