How many of you have a 5yr plan?
- Thread starter randomshenans
- Start date
When i was 19 i had plans to achieve a few goals before i turn 35. So way past the 5 year mark.
1. To become an 3rd line IT engineer, so i can turn my hobby into a job.
2. To go to Japan.
3. Buy my own house.
4. Start my own successful business and become self employed.
5. Not to be another guy in their 20's or 30's, who ends up becoming a single parent or have multiple kids by different women due to a history of failed relationships.
Obviously things in life happen which can cause delays but now Im 29, i have my house which a brought 18 months ago.
Been an 3rd line IT engineer for 3 years and still love the job. Flexible hours, hands on work, not stuck behind a computer all day.
Going to Japan in May, which actually turned into one of the number of countries i will be traveling to during that month.
Im not single parent or have kids, i still enjoy going out and having a social life. Glad to didnt turn into one of those people who drops everything soon as they get into a relationship.
Only thing left is to start my own business, which im still working on and have been for the past 5 years. Just a matter of time really. Still 6 years to go before i turn 35, so i think ive done well so far

I have always had plans and ideas for the future. But recently I have started to really push for them a lot more. The next 5 years should hopefully look something like;
Buy vehicle and start driving (Already have licence. Vehicle I want is a Toyota Hilux)
Get new job
Move to Scottish Highlands
Build own home (Small wooden eco home)
Have child(ren)
Develop my own company (currently launching)
Make enough money from own company and have small enough mortgage that I can quit or go part time on other job.
Work part time and raise family part time while living in partially self sufficient home in forest.
I also want to go on more physical challenges. (Last year I walked 2668miles across America, This summer I am running a 69 mile Ultra Marathon, eventual aim would be to compete in a Norseman.)
Profit!
