Have you acheived any life goals?

You can achieve every goal you have and lose it all only to get it back.

I've never been married but I've been engaged twice. Getting married is still one of my goals (I am 29)

Never had a house but I've rented three apartments, lol. Owning a house is one of my life goals.

I know this goes along with the whole "American Dream" thing. A white picket fence three kids a wife and a dog.

The truth is, it's what everybody wants. One goal of mine was to have a gaming pc. I wanted that since I was 14. I got one. :)

So do you have any life goals and have you achieved them yet? Well,

You OT?

Things I've accomplished in my 36 years:

I've owned a house (still living in it)

I've bought two new cars

I'm married (3 years now and counting...)

I've learned to read music for guitar and recorded two CD's.

Still not have had any kids though...but not sure that's really a life goal of mine.

I don't want kids either. I've only been able to buy used cars in my life. So I'll add a new car as one of my goals.

I have to say that with the birth of my son 2 months ago I have achieved my last life goal. Anything from now on is bonus. Maybe I should make some more life goals but I feel that, right this moment, I am 100% happy.

Well I have girlfriend (5 years now), I have a job, and an apartment. So yes I have accomplished some goals. I too would like a house. Another goal I have is move into a new type of job that allows me to create stuff. I'm tired of simply being a repair man (it's desktop support, but still that means I'm just repairing computers), and I want to learn how to create 3D designs.

Currently I fix things for people, and consume other things in my spare time (food, tv, books, movies, etc), but I really want to spend the next few decades innovating on old ideas like hydroponics through the use of new technology like Autocad and 3D printers. Not only will my work go towards creating objects, but also improving a growing industry of farming in areas that are otherwise unsuited for growing food.

It's strange how goals change over time. For me it's primarily due to boredom, I wanted to fix things because it gives me satisfaction to take a broken thing and make it work, but recently I have seen diminishing returns in the satisfaction department so I have begun a new endeavor. The other big motivator to change is my girlfriend. I want to be able to provide better for her than I currently do, and I don't see the IT world (at least not where we currently live) allowing me to make enough money to live that kind of life. Accomplishing one goal (getting a girlfriend) has helped provide me with a new goal. Life is funny like that I guess.

I achieved getting into University.

I'm not sure anything I have achieved in adult life has ever been a "goal" for me. I tend to live my life as it comes, rather than plan it out with an itinerary.

That said, when I met my current partner, and after discovering the things I love about her, it became my goal to get married to her, and that will be coming true next summer. Then the goal is to buy a house and have children.

I don't think I really have any life goals.

I'm a fat prick on an internet forum that watches a lot of anime. I'm living the American Dream.

In all honesty though, I've achieved a few of my goals. I had a job as a tutor at my old College which was really great, since my end-goal is to be a High School English/Spanish teacher, which I'm about a year and a half away from achieving. I could have been there right now, but I took a year off of school to work full-time, and be a lazy jerk.

Oh, I lost my virginity a few years ago too, which I'm sure had to have been the goal of the middle school version of me.

You still haven't learned that marriage is not a good idea and a complete waste of money, time and individuality after 2 failed engagements before even hitting age 30?

not all,but i'm happy with my achievement.

I have done nothing, and probably will do nothing

And if I ever achieve one, I will probably find it to be not as satisfying as I thought it would be

none yet. I'm still not rich or rich enough that I don't have to work anymore. I still don't have the girl of my dreams

I lost those girls due to my bipolar disorder and not being able to afford my medication. Thankfully I have insurance now and my meds are free. If I would have had insurance when it first happened you bet your bottom dollar I would have married that first girl. I don't think it's a waste of time.

I haven't, I feel that my life hasn't been very fulfilling yet.

I have accomplished all the goals I set out in 1964.

Finished my mortgage off 3 years ago at 43 and have a son of 21 so happy with them. As a runner I ran and completed my 1st 100 mile non stop Ultra marathon 3 weeks ago which although tough was an amazing experience

@trustygamer: as a person who is working on getting married as well I have to say that I see a major benefit in being a part of a team. Having someone in your life that you know you can trust and confide in regardless of what the information is, is very beneficial to life.

i have no goals.

I've met my goal of completing my first novel, though I have a more long-term goal of finishing the series.

Not married, but that is a goal.

As is having three kids.

This sounds Hallmark-ish but making a difference was a goal of mine and I now work for the school system and have the means to make a difference.

All my other goals are far too lofty...

Interesting, well I hope you never have a problem with your meds again if it is causing your relationships to fail, because if you're married and it fails, she takes half (or more) of your things. Good luck.

Nothing.

Still on the verge of completing just one.

I don't have life goals other than "be as happy as you possibly can". So so far, I'm not doing badly in achieving my constant goal. We'll see tomorrow.

15K posts? :P

Lol never noticed my post count.

I've met my goal of 'failing' once so now I know the true worth of success.

I earned a motorcycle license, that's about it.
