Plain and simple- what does your future look like in, say, 5 years? 15 years? 25 years?

How am I supposed to know
Working, saving, retiring
Start retirement, in the midst of retirement and then dead.
5 I’m rich, 15 I’m retired, 25 I’m still retired. Golfing, getting stoned, and getting laid.
I just started as an apprentice electrician with my local union. So, in 5 years I’d like to be a journeyman.
Also met a great girl last year, would love to get married in the next 5 years and maybe have kids.
Also want an investment property or 2 in the next 10 years.
I’m turning into a suburban Dad. I’m quite alright with that.
I’ll continue to fill my function, then retire, then die. If things go well I’ll find some enjoyment in it.
Work, pay off mortgage just in time to die
5 years – kids in grade school, I’m mid 40s and need to be in good health
15 years – one in school, one still at home, I’m solidly aging
25 years – retired. Fairly doable plan for that is second home in the mountains, bounce between that and primary residence and travel. But why would we stay in the suburbs with no kids, so what do we want to do? I don’t know.
Make millions by getting lucky in the stock market in the next year and then retire. That’s the plan anyways.
I dont know. There are a few ways things can go.
5 house is paid off or close to it
15 hopefully retire
25 overdose on viagra and cocaine in Thailand?
5? My own place 15? I haven’t thought that far 25? Who are you? My parents? Get off my back dude!
No idea. Currently have a good job, me and the kids are healthy, no major setbacks. I hope this continues. Not everyone is lucky though, life can change so fast
Work til I die
Probably working until I die
My name is Ted
And one day- I’ll be dead yo-yo-yo
Note: My name is not really Ted.
Overwhelmingly positive I might be lucky enough to marry the most amazing woman I’ve ever met & in doing so I can envision a very bright future long term.
Outside of savings, investments, being a Dad and physical fitness … no clue.
No idea what job I’ll be doing because I’m burnt out from my current field. Where I’ll be living, more than likely where I still am but that can change. I try to automate what’s important so I can just be in the moment more. And this is all answering the 5 years question. I definitely don’t want to think about 25 years from now.
I will eventually die
I dunno. Just coasting until death or sone major event, I guess.
Depends on how many economic disasters from our overlords we have
I’m 52. The oldest person that’s ever lived in my family is Mom, at 70. My future looks like a fuzzy monstrosity I’m thoroughly uninterested in.
Bleak.
I’m 44 and am retiring due to medical reasons. Definatly did not see this in my future when I was in my 30s.
Absolutely no idea. Scavenging the wasteland most likely.
I’m pretty good on money, career, and apartment at the m9oment. I’d say what I need to improve is getting in shape and trying to get myself a girl.
Get enslaved, killed, or laid off by AI at some point.
Chronically ill for a few years. Had pneumonia recently and the idiot ER doc gave me a fluoroquinolone antibiotic when I told him I’m leery of antibiotics due to my autoimmune issues. He promised me the antibiotic was safe. Turns out it had 7 blackbox warning labels and should only be used in life or death situations like sepsis. I’m now severely disabled and more than likely will be for life. Another 40 years or more like this. I should be able to sue the doctor. My name tells the antibiotic that destroyed my mitochondria and gave me severe system wide tendinitis, unrelenting insomnia, severe brain fog, light sensitivity and now double vision.
Meaningless bullshit until I’m dead
5 years? Close to dead probably
15 years? For sure dead
25 years? Feeding daisies.
Bleak.
Dieing alone and being found from an odd Oder call from the neighbors.
Painfully bleak. Working a full-time job until my immunosuppression causes major health issues or I decide to kill myself. If I were even able to make it to my MRA, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it for long.
