(+) Yeah! (+)

Please do tell

Honestly? I just hope I'm a good father and kids turn out to be good people. I didn't have a great upbringing. I have no living example of good parentage to model my behavior after. Always wondering if I'm doing right by my children.

To see my kids become well-adjusted, productive, caring, and intelligent adults is all I hope to accomplish in life.

I want two hot dogs.

Paying off my house, then I can pretty much semi-retire and just take contract work that actually interests me rather then work a full-time job. Still have a long time for that though, I still owe about $95K on my mortgage.
---

My own house.
Someone to spend my life with that also loves me.
Financial, psychological, and emotional peace of mind.

Pathetic. I've already got three hot dogs!

"Normal" things:

- Find a gal and settle down
- Have my own family
- Have the finical means to support that lifestyle
- Move out
- Go travelling

I doubt any of this will happen though. I'm just waiting for my inevitable death at this point.

My property taxes are nearly as much as my mortgage, so I'll never be "free" from the house burden. But yeah, it will be nice to get the principal paid off.

I'll feel accomplished once my daughter gets through college, finds a job, gets out on her own and becomes a productive citizen. Of course she's only 6 now so it's going to be a while!

Travel, get married and have a family. The order is optional, as long as kids come last.

Be a nurse, be a better dad to my future kids. Which wont be hard, just gotta be careful. Tv and real life always tell me that growing up poor or middle class then becoming well off and buying everything for kids spoils them. Makes them into shitheads, very true with this one family I had to work with, my god
---

To not be single.
---

To become independent and stop being a lazy depressed loser. I don't see that happening anytime soon tho
---

I don't know, these kind of questions make me feel very neutral. I really don't want for much in life, and not because I'm depressed or anything. I'm just happy to wake up, eat three meals a day, play some video games and learn something new whether it's through college, someone I know, or something I read.

I just want to be content as often as possible.

Discover the 'meaning' of life, the reason for existence.

Reform the education system to include proper financial and sociological teaching in schools.
---

Still would like to get married...at least before my Mom pass on...if she do, then I probably will stay single.

Also would like to be the 1st Millionaire in my Family.

Got like $989,999 left to go, xD

I'm already doing my great things.
---

My own house and a better car
---

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me and to hear the lamentation of their women.
---

Overcome anxiety and depression enough to get a job and live by myself. That's all. No wife, no kids. Maybe get a dog.
---

make babies, and see that my babies make babies.
---

Id like to live long enough to see the technological singularity occur and all of the beauties/horrors that it brings.
---

I want to sing with the voices of the mountain, and paint with all the colors of the wind.
And maybe travel the Appalachian Trail. Because fuck it, why not?

Kids.

Pay off my mortgage.

$1 million+ net worth.
---

Own a castle, complete with secret passages and a dungeon featuring traps, mazes, and monsters.

Appear in a blockbuster. Starring in one would be amazing, but having a supporting role would still be incredible. Realistically my best chances would be either as an extra or a guy who just wanders on-set.

When I was younger, I kinda wanted to write enough books to fill a library with just my works.... but then I realized that I didn't really have the follow-through for any of that. Plus I stopped reading for fun in college and at this point I maybe read a book or two a year.

I also want to be involved in R&D for a CCG. And to be a mangaka.
