Physically, emotionally and status wise? How old will you be? Do you think you'll still be trotting along as you are now, or do you think that you'll be living elsewhere with a different job and a larger salary? Will you still have the same job? Will you be married and have children by then? Will your children have left home and you'll be holidaying in the caribbean? Will you be living in a different country? Retired? Any ambitions you hope to have achieved?


Me, I'll be 38. I hope to have a larger home and maybe have found Mr Right by then (and be living in sin!). I can't imagine for a second that I'll have given in and had any children, but maybe a few more cats. I'll be happy to stay in my current job I think, although hopefully with a bit more money! Ambition wise, I've always wanted to learn to ride horses so I may give that a try between now and then, and hopefully will have finally gotten round to taking an A level in psychology.

So, what about you?

I want to have several books published (not self-published) by then. I would hope to still be rescuing feral cats and have my animals all in optimum health. I would like to be on a larger piece of land than we are now, and I would want my husband to be thinner and free of diabetes and all that the disease brings.

well I'll be 35 and hubby will be 39. While I'd love for him to be doing something other than trucking, and making the same or better money, I'm gonna go for something that might actually happen, and say he'll be in a steady trucking job with a good company that doesn't LIE! (we've been having some issues with that). Me, I would like to be doing the same job I do now, to make enough money to support my horse habit. This house will have been sold, and we'd have a nice little peice of land with a decent house and a nice barn, and no less than 5 horses of our own, plus other assorted farm animals. I really want to do large animal rescue, like horses and cows and llamas and stuff. So...I think I'll scratch hubby's thing of "same money" and swap it for "much better" money, or I won't be able to afford to feed and vet everyone! My daughter will be 13, and hopefully she'll be following after me with loving animals and horses, and stay the heck away from her Dad's truck and the trucking industry! And in 10 years, I really hope my Lucky dog is still with me. He'll be 12, and he's big with hip problems. The rest of my critters, with the exception of Louie (lifespan of about 10 years on a Bearded dragon, and he's 4 now) should be here barring any catastrophe.

10 years....with the way I feel this morning, dead would be an improvement .....but I'm not rushing it! Ten years from now, I'll be looking at my 47th b'day just a couple of days away, can hope that our bakery is supporting me so's I'd have more time for enjoying life instead of working all the time.....loving my cats and puttering with my hobbies!

I'll be 35. I hope I have succeeded in getting my PhD ready and have a steady job at the uni (Yeah, like that's going to happen
). I hope to be still married with hubby, who'll be 37 and will also hopefully have a good job (he doesn't like me to tell about himself on the net, let's just say he works in education). Money isn't that important, but I want us to have a house of our own, perhaps in the countryside. I will hope to have visited at least India. Most of all, I hope all my kitties are healthy and happy, that goes for us humans too.


Almost forgot: I also want to live in a world without war, bigotry, poverty, disease, climate change, species extinctions, factory farming etc. Think we'll manage it?

Awww... You really think so? I already had my hopes high.


But really:
Nothing's ever going to change if no one believes.

You're absolutely right. In that case I believe too

I will be 30 years old. I hope by then I will be married and have one son & one daughter, with 2 more children to come. I by then will be living in America, perhaps Texas or Nevada, or any other country-like state, lol. I will have my own piece of land, with a huge house, heaps of cats, some dogs, and heaps of horses, as well as many other kinds of animals. We will have our own Riding School, and will rescue and foster animals.

A huge dream huh? LOL.

hmm 10 years-- Il be 37 hubby will be 45; be in upper management ( like CEO or something of that level) supervisory capacity in my current company. (supposed to get a supervisory postion next may) Have moved, hopefully out of this little POS town into the country with some land so i can have my calves to bottle feed, some goats, some more cats, and a couple of horses ( ohh yeah and a koi pond). I miss living in the country soo bad. Hope to have a new home, paid off (home has yet to be built or even planned) Debt free, both my kids will be in middle or high school and with the ability to travel more, and probably in ten years my current dogs will be gone-- My chinese crested hairless is 7 and arthritis is literally killing her right now-- i dont really see her making it past another year. My shepherds are 5 and 4 so ill be happy if they make it to 13. PB should still be around-- hes still a kitten.

im sure theres more but thats plenty to think about

This is the first time I've thought about this since my life did a 180 on me. So let's see, I guess it's time to reevaluate.

In 10 years I'll be 32, and should have hopefully finished my PhD in Counselor Education. I doubt I'll have my own practice yet, but hopefully I'll be taking clients in someone elses practice, working on building up my own clientele so that I may open my own practice somewhere down the road. I really hope that I'm married by then, I REALLY REALLY do. I'd also like to have one kid by then, and then a second a few years later. I have no idea where I'll be, but I really hope it's not far from my family. Waffle will be 13 and hopefully doing great, I'll probably have a couple more cats and a retired racing greyhound. I'd like to own a home in suburbia somewhere near a beach. I guess that about sums it up...

I'll be 54 by then, hopefully married to my bf, and living up North where my summer cottage is and semi-retired. Of course there will always be the animals, especially the kitties!

10 years....well lets see, I will be 31, WOW!


I hope to be married to John (within the next 3 years!!) and hopefully by then we will be able to start building on our new house out in the country somewhere
Hopefully closer to my family, we live 2 hrs away now and if we have children, I really want it to be closer to all of my family


I really would love to have at least 1 child, or 2! (twins are very possible for us-he has a few in his family!!).

Job wise, I really don't think I could see myself still here where I work now, I would really like to get another job, better money, but I'm not really sure what I would like to do. Maybe something with an insurance company (I like that kinda stuff!) I'm still young, I have time to figure it out


Oh yeah, I hope to have another cat too!!

In 10 years I'll be 35....so hopefully by then Bradley and I will have been married for about 9 years (yes, I'm hoping that'll happen within the next year!) and have a couple of happy, healthy kiddies (and kitties!).

By then, we'll hopefully have already "moved on up" from our starter home into a nice 4-BR on Isle of Hope or somewhere with deep water access. I'll have my MPA long before then, so hopefully I'll be in some sort of cushy government job.

Ahhh, it's nice to dream!
