What are your goals for the next decade?

Start and complete a health and safety diploma.
Finish decorating house that we bought in November.
Marry fiancée then have kids.
Earn £25k-£30k in current job or go elsewhere.
New TV and playstation 5
New pc, most probably amd am5, I'll skip am4.
 
Stay alive. I'm no longer in remission according to my last blood test so some more chemo might be in my near future.
Depending on the above,
Get some of my first pension in March
Get much, much fitter
Carry on my hobby for as long as possible
Enjoy life
 
Don't think I have many goals per se - pipe dreams, aspirations perhaps, but beyond being a good father to my children it's difficult to think that far ahead. Some of my aspirations might not even be compatible with being a good father anyway.
 
I’ve lost 3 1/2 stone this year, through a combination of diet and increased exercise. I don’t have that much to lose again, but over the beginning of the next decade I’d like to shed some more and get fitter. I’m 48 next year, and want to take better health into the second half of life. My main goal is doing what I can to help my son get started in life, probably helping him buy his first house once he’s completed his degree.

Finally, we bought a holiday home 18 months ago and are just coming to the end of our first year letting it out. It has been a huge success, so we’d like to repeat the exercise in the next few years, up in Scotland when we find the right place, which will ultimately be the place that we aim to retire to. Retirement comes at you pretty quickly once you get near to 50, so I want to be prepared!
 
32 now and graduated uni at 30. Feel like now that education and decent salary are in the bag, 30s is going to be the big one:

Buy a house and build a home out of it.

Sort my head out enough to focus on the relationship I'm in and be a better partner.

Sort my head out and grow up enough to start a family. Do so.

Generic get fit, stay fit, change habits tosh.

TBH that's all I'm after. Settling down is calling to me pretty hard lately and I need to get my **** together.
 
Get a new permanent job (assuming the start of January pans out well, the next 2 will follow shortly after)
Buy a car
Buy a house
 
keep my health and fitness ,sort all those pension pots i keep putting off ,i love my house and surroundings ,truly amazing but aiming for riverside crescent newquay ,need a million at least and my minimum wage aint helping,
improve bodyboarding ,do at least one more camino
 
There is not much to look forwards to in 10 years time. Most of the middle-aged Gen-Xers and the younger Millennials will be dead from a combination of cancer, dementia, AIDS, heart attacks and 'betes type II. We are frequently reminded of this by the mouthpiece of the establishment. It's what the establishment wants - us all to be dead before we become pensionable.

Anyone still with a heartbeat in 10 years time will live out the rest of their lives under a dystopian regime.
 
Continue to not give two figs about work and spend as little time working as possible.

Look after my body, enjoy my free time and spend more time in nature.
 
Get rid of mortgage and start the process of getting my pension fund up to a million. Beyond that I hope the construction industry doesn't tank significantly due to brexit (although I'm in a shielded sector). The girls will be both starting school and we are looking forward to doing a few more holidays.
 
Either move somewhere with more space or get the kitchen extension done and a new games room.
2 or more promotions (or leave Civil service and go back to industry.... Either way, double my salary).
See my daughter graduate Uni.
Have 0 grandchildren (I'm too young and pretty).

We already have a thread dedicated to the last 10 years, but as always I am incapable of resting on my laurels and am always on the lookout for the next big thing.

For me my goals for the next decade are:

  • Start a business and grow it.
  • Finish my degree.
  • Get more education.
  • £100k p/a.
  • Become completely debt-free.
  • Buy a house.
  • Have kids? Maybe. Who knows.

These are on top of the usual copy & paste new years' resolutions, lose weight, quit drinking, all that rubbish.

Go on, what are your goals?

Just out of curiosity what field would you expect to achieve this in?

From what I've heard from many, once you hit £50k it becomes extremely hard to get past that, I've known people to spend an extra 10-12 hours a week working with an extra hour of traveling a day to go from £47k to £55k.
