Umm


I will be barely an adult in 5 years.

I plan on getting my license, beating up my sister's boyfriends that treat her badly... a bit tired at the moment so I will add as I think.
 
In 10 years I'd like to be an engineer in F1.Or be an F1 driver.

Anything I can do to help, Just ask !....

Sure as hell beats retiring as a 65 year old !....
 
I'd like to finish highschool, maybe do 2 years of college, then 2 years of a modeling/animation school. Or just go to a 4 college specifically for modeling/animation. I'm not really sure what colleges offer for that kind of stuff.

So 5 years after I graduate from highschool I plan to work hard, kiss alot of ass, and hopefully work on GT6.
 
Hmm... next few months I'll be working as an intern in a mechanic shop, I'll be giving violin lessons thrice a week, and I'll probably be blowing off my last year of school.
In 5 Years, I see myself either gowing throught college trying to be a mechanical engineer, or working in mortgage getting paid 6k a month for the time.
10 years... hmm... I'll be around 27, so I plan on being married by then hopefully. Out of college with a nice job... or to be self sufficient, hopefully having my own mechanic shop with my friends (we've planned it for a while now, so might as well go with it) and just living it up and having fun!
 
I'm about 1400 hours into my 6000 hour apprenticeship, so if all goes to plan I should come out of my time at the end of 2007.

By then I'll be a fully qualified machinist and might possibly be a CNC Operator/Programmer/Setter. From then I could choose to stay with my current company or go job hunting.

By 5 years I would like to have a stable job whereever I end up, in a stable relationship with the possibility of looking for a house.

By 10 years I want to have a 3 car garage containing at least 2000hp :)
 
I'm afraid, I'm somewhere between DQuaN and TheCracker. :D I'd love to own a house in the future, but new houses are expensive! I don't like older houses(all I can afford really), because everybody I know who owns older houses, always have something that needs fixing. :yuck:
 
Depends, if I get satisfactory marks I'll go to uni to study for a Bachelor of Applied Info Tech, if I don't I'll go to TAFE and get some certificates that will allow me to get the degree I want. Then I'll work, retire and die.

With a wife and kids thrown in at some point.

Oh I forgot. I have to go through a compulsive (not compulsive for the women) military service (there's also a civilian alternative for that) after 6th form. It'll take half-a-year and I'm not sure how it'll affect my studying.
 
I'll probably be in the U.S.A.F. in five years after using ROTC to get into a good college. Then after the Air Force, I'll try to get a job as a mechanical engineer.
 
Well, I just got married so that part is finished. Our current plan is to live in the house that her family owns, free of charge, and save up money. In about five years we hope to buy a house with a relatively small loan. We are actually crossing our fingers that the housing market here in the US will drop off some so that we could manage no loan.

In the meantime we are getting her finished with college, which her employer pays for, and looking to get us both in slightly newer cars.

Once we have a house and she finishes school we are looking to have a kid, two at most, and I intend to get an MBA and move up a bit more in the business world.

That is the ten year plan.

Oh, and on the side I will attempt to write the great American novel, but I have a feeling my free time will be spent playing GT.

Yay, me too! :)

Except I don't particularly want the kids. The world has enough people – I'd rather get a couple pets and call it a day.

And I'll probably work part-time after I retire – I hate being "idle", so to speak.
 
I suppose at this point if I stay in this landscaping job it will be another 4 yrs. and then I can get my Contracting license to have my own biz. But that's going week to week. Another thing I might be doing (if I can get a damn job in it) is working as a CAD junky for and Industrial Design firm. Maybe move out but I don't know how that will really happen. I'd like to have my xB or maybe... something like a black RX-8 or even a used Black Viper by then ( oh, right car insurance, scratch the last two :dopey: ). I think that takes care of 5yrs.
 
Well I would like to finish school in the next 5 years, but since I'm shooting for a masters by taking night classes and online courses it could take a while. But I forsee myself still at General Motors doing whatever the hell it is that I do there. I really would like to start my own business though, but GM pays well so I don't know.

I plan on getting married in the next few years, I know my girlfriend wants to. I also need to get a home, which will more then likely be on a lake in Southeast Michigan. I will have a newer car, I forsee Saab for some reason. Also a truck, so I can pull my boat and dirt bikes. My wife (wow weird to say) will be driving something along the lines of a CTS I would think.

My finances will be fine, since well I make a good deal of money and so do my parents. In fact my whole family is wealthy.

Real pets?

Or more Racoons?
 
Hey, raccoons are real!

Anyway, I'll probably live in the city/suburbs, so no raccoonies. :( I'll probably have a few rats, or maybe birds if I feel up to the task. Maybe a dog. That's about it in terms of choices – reptiles make silly pets (as do fish), rats are the coolest "pocket pets" ever and so automatically bump hamsters and rabbits and mice and guinea pigs out of the running, and cats are a little too boring for me (especially if I'm going to be having pets in lieu of children).

Having Thai heritage, and being an appreciator of fine aesthetics, some might suggest that it would be a crime to go without a Siamese. :)

Edit:
I couldn’t resist posting Tupitm once more. (Part Siamese)

In five years time if I'm still with Charlotte I'll be married, I'll also be running a multi milion pounds annual turnover business (I hope) with two other partners. The business is already set up and rolling, it's just in it's infancy right now and it's just the three of us running it and one other lad who does the odd sale for us on a commision only basism we dion't work from an office yet and I have a part time job in the mornings to keep a gaurenteed cash flow no matter what happens but if all goes well I'll be doing my mobile phones full time within 6 months. I DON'T plan on kid's, no, no, no. Not ever. I plan on owning a TVR at some point, they are my fave car maker after all. But I'm not goiong to get a flash, or big car until I'm over 25.

Yeah, I'm not certain about kids but it will probably happen at some point.

You HAVE to have kids. We were married for almost 4 years when we had our little girl, and she is the greatest joy in our life. It was fun to just be married and do fun stuff for a while (like 2 trips to Italy and Switzerland, traveling around the US a bit, etc), but kids are just amazing. I love my wife more than anything, but when you have a baby, you find out about a whole new kind of love that is so strong and so pure, it just defies description. I think you'll miss out on one of life's great joys if you never have kids.
 
I hope in 5 years I'll have a job with a decent salary, definitely not being a student anymore. I hope to have my own place to live, someone to love (who gives love back too :P) and I saw more of the world. Most importantly I hope that I have a PS3 with many games by then!



:D
