This is a brainstorming discussion, i.e. there is no judgement on the items listed - either by you or others on the items listed. This is planning for the things you want in life. Some things could be a spouse, three kids (age gap), big home (nominate place), vacation home (nominate location), owning an ostrich (yes I really had a student put that as a life goal), go to every MLB park, travel to all seven continents, make enough money to set up a foundation to (be very specific). The one thing about these brainstorming ideas is they need to be specific, not general. Timelines are good. Careers can be mentioned but there is more to life than our jobs
