This is kind of hard for me b/c I feel like my goals have a longer timeline for the most part. We are in our "forever" home (at least for 15-20 yrs), done w/ kids, etc.
1. Pay off my car. This should be done in the next month. Then we still have a mortgage and dh's SL debt, but both are well into the 6 figures and tax deductable interest, so we aren't in a hurry to pay them off.
2. Get into REALLY good shape. I used to be in great shape and I have (probably unrealistic) goals to get back there. Along these lines, discover the cure to stretch marks.
3. Find a parttime career that I love.
4. Finish our basement and landscape.
5. Get involved in the church.
1- sell my house
2- move up in my company
3- build our dream home on the farm!
4- travel
5- make more money!
1- Be done w/ having kids!
2-Advance in my company (a couple more levels up)
3-(See #1), so we can start traveling again
Hmmm.... this is a good poll, I can't think of what else to do in the next five years. Those 3 are it for me.
1. Move to ID
2. Help DH start custom farming business
3. Pay off debt
4. maybe have baby #3...once I forget all the unpleasantness of pregnancy and impending delivery. :-/
5. Start my furniture repair business
