So what are 5 or more things you want to do before you kick the bucket??

Here's my top 5+ list (not in order):

1) See my best friend again
2) Fall in love again & experience this magnificent journey with them
3) Hold an exhibition of my artwork at a well-known art gallery in a capital city
4) See the world - Travel to a different part of the world each year for 6 months at a time & also photograph each place, each experience, etc
5) Design & build homes for a living & showcase them for all to see (including designing & building one unique home each year to live in)
6) Contribute to helping others less fortunate than me

My list above details a variety of things for each actual point; without being very specific. So what's the "Bucket List" for you? Be specific or a bit varied as I have. Enjoy!

[ianvestor]

1. Travel into space for a few days and view the earth from up there (Was the first real reason I wanted to be rich).

2. Build an apartment tower like Q1 (apart from making money, this would just be really satisfying).

3. Fly around suspended by a cable under a helicopter (ala Branson).

4. Produce some music and have it distributed far and wide.

Of course this is just my selfish list; There's a whole 'nother list for my journey with future wife and kids.


1. Always be around for my family (no working).

2. Travel the world and see just about everywhere.

3. Teach my kids the value of money and self-education.

5. Take more video/photos of family!

2. Raise the kids to become happy, kind people who follow their dreams.
3. Publish at least one children's book and one novel.
4. Be financially independant.
5. Die of old age.
