What had you achieved by 26?

Not certain if I can achieve my goals by 30, it will be damn impressive if I manage it

By 26 I was three years into what was the sentence of being with my ex, so glad of being released.
I'm 21 (22 tomorrow 
) and I've completed a four year electrical apprenticeship and currently work as an Electrical Engineer. But I'd like to travel more. I don't feel like I've done enough though, but I am still young. I'm just hoping I can get some money together quickly and see more of the world...

20 at the moment 
So far, i've had a really easy and enjoyable life thanks to family and friends, got a great job, earnt (and wasted) lots of money
, and finally worked out what I want to do with my life, which is move to Canada, which i'm doing next year
I don't normally plan too far ahead, just go with the flow really, i'm a VERY relaxed person

I actually admire this far more than the typical:
Degree
Mortgage
Kids
You admire repeated failure, hmm.

Let us know how you get on with your Canada plans! You've practically described me but I'm probably 2 years older

23. Got a degree from a great uni. Got promoted out of junior positions at work. Played live shows abroad. Shot a music video. Ticking off places I want to visit ( been to north Korea and going to Chernobyl in a week). On target for travelling overland from Brighton to india next year. Building up a great tattoo collection so far. Playing my first festival this year with the damned. Going pretty well I guess.

I'm 26 now, I've achieved:
- Good job, earning a lot more than I had expected to earn even by the age of 30
- I have my own registered business (sole trader) doing wedding photography which is going very well, even though I don't particularly enjoy it
- Currently going through the process of getting a working visa to move to Canada for a year at the beginning of 2013
Those three things stand out for me at the moment, third one I haven't technically achieved, but it will happen.

I'm only 23 so a few years to go. I hope to be settled in a house with the mrs, either renting or purchased (the latter would be nice but can't see it realistically happening); would also like to be further up the food chain in the company and on a better wage, hopefully £30k+.
