QOD 8/8

Where do you hope to be in 5 years?
"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly"

Re: QOD 8/8

  • I hope in 5 years I have gone to school to get certified in child care, and working in child care. Hopefully have a child or 2 of our own. that my H & I have a nice condo (because H & I do not want to own a house) and we are our of dept. Also that my H has a full time job that he will love..

  • I hope that in the next five years I'm doing something that I love. I need to figure it out sometime soon, since I just had a major setback. I also hope to have two children, because by then I'll be in my early 40s (that freaks me out!).
  • Hope to be either back in school for my BSW, or foster parenting. Hope to have our debt paid off enough that we don't need a renter anymore and can get the extra space back.
  • In 5 years I will have an almost 5 year old and if not a younger one hopefully one on the way. I hope for H to be on the Police Department and for us to be settling into a new house. I want to get a raise and for it to either be more permanent or me to be in a better job and still have all the freedom I have now.
  • I would like to have a child in that time and also be a little more stable financially. Hopefully, me and H both get raises. I wouldn't mind either one of us staying at the same employer as long as we can make more money then we are now. I might start looking at a job closer to home if it helps with cost and child care but I am in a good spot now.

    Have a house and a kid. Maybe be working on a second kid if we haven't screwed the first one up too bad.

    PS. @melissa51212 I really like these questions of the day!

  • Hope to have the majority of our debt paid off (mostly student loans), to live closer to Lake Michigan (or Lake Superior but convincing the hubs to move that far is going to be tough), to have H working as a State Trooper, and to have a couple kids.

  • Someone else did it the other week so I just keep up with it but I think it keeps our board active! :)@bpphoto785

  • We should have all of our debt paid off (we already paid off our cars!) and hopefully be either living in or looking for a house. I would like at least one child by then; it is getting harder and harder to not know when we can start thinking about having kids. I would really hope I have my teaching license by then, but if I don't, I would hope I still have the same job I do now (I told my kindergarteners that I wanted to stick around long enough to see them go to middle school, 6th grade).

  • Hopefully have 1-2 kids by then...have our own house...hubby have a more stable job that pays better or close to what he has now....and my job? be able to cut down to part time and stay at home more..lol...we shall see :)
  • DH and I have really accomplished a lot in the past few years.  We both have had promotions and moved and bought and moved in to our 3rd house!  The only goals I have now is to have a few kids and pay down some of our student loans.  DH should also be up for another promotion, but I want to stay where I'm at because it will be better for having a family.

  • I will have a 5.5 year old by then! Crazy. I hope to have another kid and maybe be pregnant with a third, and our last. I also hope that we are finally in a house that has all of the space that we need.

  • In 5 years, I hope we have a kid or two to help us fill up the house we are hoping to build. I also hope to be either working part time, or staying home with those kids.

    If not, I hope I am still at this job, and that I love it just as much as I do now. By theni may have gone back to school to help me expand my responsibilities here.
