Where do you see yourself at 40?

What goals have you set yourself for the age of forty? What major events will you be anticipating? Any milestones you are looking forward to?

For those of you past that age, what was significant about the age of forty for you?

Hmmm, I'm about to turn 30 (this October) and I'm looking forward to the 'family' time in my life. I hope to (by the age of 40) be settled into a family life and routine (I used to hate that word) with 1 or 2 kids, a house, a dog (already have that) and a great sexy husband... who doesn't think 40 is old and still wants to have fun and see and do and explore, kids and all!

I guess my career is less important to me... I should care more about it than I do!

I'll be dead by 40. Probably even before.

Judging by the grades I got this semester (Well, one grade... the other was fine) I'll be riding the short bus for the rest of my life.

No, seriously, I will have overcome this and other roadblocks to become a successful physicist (one bad grade in my life won't take that away from me, right? I really hope not....) hopefully on faculty at a well respected university, and yeah, tenure would be cool by that point.

Thak and I will hopefully own a place by then, and he'll undoubtedly be sinking every dime we earn into making it exactly how he wants it. Oh, and let's see, when I'm 40... that's about 16 years away, so yeah, by then, Thak will have been out of the Army for a long time, and he will hopefully be teaching math at the college level, having completed grad school several years after getting out of the Army.

Erin will have graduated High School 2 years prior to me turning 40, so she'll hopefully be away at Georgia Tech or MIT (although, I'm totally pulling for Georgia Tech there! I'm so biased...) in her sophmore year of the physics or chemistry program. We'll hopefully have enough money where she won't have to hedge her bets with a double major for practicality like mommy did, and can just focus all her attention on the science of her choice.

Our other child will most likely be about 6 years younger than Erin, so he/she (Rin/Sirikit) will be a freshman in High School when I am 40.

Yeah, so that's a really long way in the future! Wow.... There's a lot to accomplish between now and then.

Oh, and when I'm 40, Thak and I will have been married 18 years! Wow!

He's worth it.

I don't plan, I hope ...
that I won't be lonely anymore ...
let's see
Oh, if I may wish something, kids and maybe a new car would also be great.
(Scratch the car, the family is far more important)

I would have graduated cordon bleu(culinary arts) in Austin & from OLLU with my degree in Communications(Film)/English a production company pumping out different screenplays for movies and tv and at least have my arse in the door of that industry.

I would have tanked over Collette Peters and become the next cake diva.I will also own a small chain of restaurants called Unchained Melody with about 2 or 3 coffee shops while on the side writing songs for Sony Music or whoever takes them.

My oldest daughter will be 25 and graduated from whatever fashion institute she wants or entering into a forensic pathologist program minoring in psychology /law enforcement(she wants to be a profiler for the FBI)

My youngest will be ten and probably have me travelling everywhere with her various tv commericals/shows/modeling or her singing and instrumental talent.

i should be married with kids

i'll be playing basketball with my kid. playing playstation 5 with my kid.

it'll be fun. watching my kid do something wrong and i have to reprimand him even though i thought it was funny.

"listen son, what you did was wrong. never ever do that again. (in front of your mom)"


oh god i'll be responsible/in charge of little people.

Sarcasm is one of the services I provide.

Dude, the worst part is when they do something totally hilarious, but wrong, and you reprimand them the EXACT same way your parents reprimanded you when you were their age. There's this moment of epiphany where you say to yourself "Oh my gawd... I have become one of 'those people'." Then you just accept it, and the next generation of "those people" is born. LOL
