While I know I might have many more years past that 5 yr mark, I am still keeping that number in my focus as I live out the rest of my life. I don't want to get to that 5 yr mark and realize it was true and regret how I have lived out those years. I'm not infinitely wealthy, so I can't quit my job to travel the world. I'm curious if others are doing anything differently with the direction their lives have taken. I am trying to spend more time with family and friends. You know the friends you say we need to do lunch and then its a year later and you still haven't done lunch. I'm trying to do as many items on my bucket list as my budget will allow me. And if I get past that 5 year mark then everything after that will be the icing on the cake!
