55m here (birthday is coming up next week so I’m owning getting older!)
Get the kids, I have two teenage boys, through University and send them off into life well prepared. At least as prepared as my wife and I can make them.
Retire before I die and at this point, I mean that seriously.
That’s it. In my youth I had aspirations to be a pilot and an engineer… But my eyesight precluded me from doing the type of flying that I wanted to do. I wanted to become an EE, but made some stupid decisions in my youth and thought I could make money early, then go back to school. Turns out, to make that money you have to work alllllll the time. I actually didn’t complete my degree until age 42. Really stupid of me not to stay in university when I was in my early 20’s.
Things I did accomplish already:
Skydiver and attained both my “D” master license and “PRO” licensed. Though long retired from it, I’m quite proud of my time in the sky. There are a several people in the air today, because of what I taught them many years ago. They have gone on to teach others. While my impact on the sport is not as great as some, it is far more than many.
Found a life mate: Which is not something that I thought I wanted until my mid-30’s when I met my future wife.
At this point, I just want to make it to old age… Well oldER without ending up in a gutter homeless.
