I joke with my family that 40 is it for me. I don’t want kids, I don’t want to succumb to any diseases that come with aging, I don’t want to see any of my family pass. 40 is a good stopping point -- graduate, advance in my field of study, travel often, get a dog. I’ve never even had a passing thought about what I could be afterward that age. I can’t see myself retired, with no work to do, I know I would be way too bored. I can’t see myself not driving, I can’t even see myself living somewhere without my family in the next rooms.
So, while 80 is unimaginable to me, I can set some lifelong goals that I can strive for regardless of the age I’m asked about: be successful in my chosen career path, build and maintain lasting friendships, travel to all my dream destinations, and live with as little regrets as possible. For someone as unsure about their life path as I am, I think these goals are still achievable.
