    Money. Pure and simple. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    I want to rule the world.

    Is that too much to ask?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    I've got everything I need at the minute - my missus, my health, a roof over my head & a few quid in the bank. Anything else is just a bonus!

    Not a fan of Ireland then...

    For me, just a fair bit of money and good health

    Money. Pure and simple. :p

    If you won Euro millions, and won say E120 million, you would end up bored in my opinion! When you work you have a structure, and routine, and the money you earn makes it all more worthwhile. If you had loads of money, you would be bored after a while.

    If I won Euro millions, I would still work, but would own my own company, and would work in it. I would love that, thats me though :)

    To be content, not to have to worry.

    TBH, I wanna play Pokémon, the STD version....gotta catch them all! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Travel lots
    Have plenty of luxurious holidays (5 star hotels and the like! Especially that 7 Star hotel in Dubai)
    Win lots of prizes for something
    Have 4 kids and make a string quartet.
    To learn lots. If I had unlimited funds and didn't need to work I'd probably stay in college for many years and study various arts subjects (English, Music, History, Politics, Psychology) as well as science subjects. I'd probably undertake a Ph.D or two in some science subjects.I'd then work in medical research which I'd part fund from my unlimited funds.

    If I had that amount of money, I would not be bored, as I would find that spending it on the things I want very entertaining. :pac:

    Ya, I understand. For me though even if the country was full of jobs, I still want to leave.

    Ahh no. I do like Ireland an awful lot, and will miss it, but I just don't want to live here for the rest of my life. Ireland, my friends, and family will always be in my heart when I leave though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,167 ✭✭✭gsxr1

    far away fields usually are green.

    trust me. All there is here is rain....

    My health & memories in my old age, my Girlfirend to say yes when I ask her, a happy & healthy life together, a house with a garden...... and an Audi A5, a black one with shiny alloys.

    A Nation Once Again!

    Just one question, when were we a nation before? :confused::pac:

    A Nation Once Again!

    Just one question, when were we a nation before? :confused::pac:

    We kind of became a nation in 1921.....ahh Michael Collins!!
    Maybe at some stage, a full nation! Then that song may be sang!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭MoodeRator


    Just to wake up tomorrow! and hopefully many more tomorrows! Life is simple, if you just allow it to be!:cool:

    I'd like to bring up my kid (who is on the way) so well that I end up the father of a happy but not arrogant billionaire equivalent in today's money who pays for the healthcare that I will seriously need after I ring in my 60th birthday by lighting up the first of a rest of life 20+ cigarettes a day habit.

    I would like to develop linguistic mastery such that I can call almost anyone on the planet a jerk to their faces, if I felt it was deserved, perfectly intelligibly & yet have it not be clear to them that I was so doing.

    I would like to understand much more about life than I do now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    money, health, a good job and the occasional ride

    I don't like that question. Your goals in life change position as you go on, wouldn't really like to have any master plan, per se

    Like right now what I want out of life; is to be able to keep my head above water and survive independently.. one day I might want to settle down with a career and have kids.. and one day I might want to get the hell out of the relationship I previously thought is what I wanted out of life

    All you can do is survive, and make sure that surviving in future is as easy as you can make it

    Nice one Kev,and I can assure you that your responsible attitude with being a parent WILL pay off!!! It takes time, but my god it is SO worth the effort. I have 3 perfect daughters now prove me right!!!:) I wake up every morning without a care because I am so proud of them ALL!

    I want to pass my exams.

    Then I want to do more exams.

    Hopefully I will also pass those.

    I want to get my degree.

    I then hope to work.

    Subsequently, I will sit more exams.

    I also would very much like to pass those.

    I shall work some more, etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,239 ✭✭✭Lurching


    My aims at the minute are money related. Id like a home in both hemispheres, one somewhere hot, one somewhere on a ski resort.

    Then id need italian sportscars (not a fiat 500 :D ) at both homes.

    Id also like a job that would comfortably support me.

    Once im on my way, id like a cool wife and 2 kids and continued health for my family.

    Too much to ask?
