Find a way to cheat the system, like in office space when they take the extra half cent that was just rounded off and thrown away.

To stop Mike from owning a place.

So far, so good...

No one can stop me...your efforts are futile.



Then I'll move to phase 2:

Put flame dogging poo outside Mike's new house.

Noble goals, a bit dreamy though.

2. Earn a more than comfortable living (my goal is 50k salary within 5 years after I graduate to start. Unless I screw up the job I have now, I'll beat that easily)
3. Find a wife, start a family.

Added to that

4. Get my 10,000th post
5. Become a doctor
6. Later on in life, help the indigent medically, free of charge. (It couldn't be in this country though. Messed up Healthcare rules) :(

My goals for my life (I'm 18 right now):

1. Hopefully start a business out of college, or work on expanding the one I currently own (I have about 70 clients now... in 4 years I would like to see that at 700 clients with 5 full time employees)

2. Move to a bigger city outside of college, such as Chicago, NY, or Boston. Milwaukee is a nice city, but there just isn't a big enough market here for what I want to do.

3. Live in another country for at least 3 months, possibly Australia or England (just got my study abroad stuff in the mail to for Sydney, so this will be very likely :p)

4. Graduate with a Masters from college by 2013 in MIS

At this point I could really care less about getting married, or even finding a steady relationship, because I have to much going on right now to worry about that :p

vague goals have a hard time coming to fruition

quantify/qualify some of those a bit for instance

Finda job in computer support - PT or FT? Do you want to start today? tomm? Next month? Small, medium, large company? Salary requirements? Benefits?

Get a new car ? American or foreign? What color interior? what color exterior? 2 dr or 4 dr?

Find a girlfriend ? tall? short? fat? skinny? smart? funny? What kind of girl you want will dictate where you spend your timing looking. Do you want to date a bunch first or just find one an dstick with her? Do you want to be engaged this year? 5 years? 10 years?

Travel to other countries? When? Europe? Asia? How long will you travel for ? Cities or rural areas? Warm climates or cold climates? what kind of budget? 1 country per trip or multiple countries in a trip?

Get drunk alot? :cheers; :)

To be retired by the time I am 55. (7 years from now).
To have given my kids a good start on life, with a solid moral grounding.
To be a better human being tomorrow than I am today.

Hehe. I'm not a very picky person... easy to please.

Job: Ideally I'd like a software development or web development job at a small company, as soon as possible. Pay, $40-50,000.

Car: Foreign, 4-door. Dark color. Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc.

Girlfriend: 5'8", brunette, body type don't matter as long as she's not real skinny or fat. HAS to be funny and have a sense of humor... and be smart too but not a genius. Funny is more important. Finding one and sticking with her would be best... and get married in my mid-late twenties (23 now).

Travel: Europe, UK, France, Germany, Italy. Japan, China, Australia. Time spent there depends on how long I can get off work... I'd like to travel before starting a family and when I'm young. Europe would probably be multiple countries in a trip.

Drink: :beer::D
