    What is everyone's 5 year (or more) plan for your future?

    I myself would like to eventually get a proper full time job in the area I will be qualified in, get my first car, after a few years to move far - far away from Dublin - or out of Ireland all together, and to start fresh in life!

    What's yours? :)

    Mine Will be based around a new economic policy which varies every five years

    I'm also going to force collective farming and exterminate all those who oppose me through show trials and then conquer Eastern Europe.

    If I had have asked myself this question five years ago, past me might be a bit pissed that I'm doing precisely the exact same thing as I was then.

    Well, ain't that some shit.

    But it is entertaining to look on as the weight of the world crushes the souls of the beautiful young things, isn't it? :D

    At my age I don't even make a 5 day let alone a 5 year plan. :)

    Even in my youth or middle age I never made a plan. To be honest it sounds like something for people who think too much about things rather than just getting on with it.

    It was a play on words, 5 year plan -> Stalin -> woman -> Elton John song.

    I worry about the way my brain works sometimes. Last night I dreamed a gang of Paraguayan Gauchos created a cyborg to seduce me as a distraction and then rob me at plastic 2-litre Coke bottle point.

    I think when you start thinking in terms of "the 5 year plan", it's not long before the admission that actually your life is going in a hopeless direction, you have no plan and you're going to have to change everything and start again with better managed expectations and taking things day by day.

    Expectations are stupid to put on yourself. A year by year basis is more realistic. Plus I don't want to stay fixed to a plan wouldn't it be nice just to take things as they come and try and do your best out of them because realistically alot of life is going to get in the way between here and there.

    I did a five year plan five years ago. I actually exceeded my own expectations, so I'm taking the next five years off.
