Do you have a bucket list? Is it written down somewhere or just in your head? Many people I know do not have an actual list. Yesterday at lunch a colleague and I were discussing this and she said ‘I just don’t view my life like that – I tend to spend my money on other things instead of saving for what I really want to do’. To me, this is part of WHY I have a bucket list. I’ll never accomplish the dreams and goals I have, the things I’ve always wanted to do or see the places I’ve always wanted to see if I don’t have a list of them and have a plan to accomplish. And I update it regularly – every time I do something that is on the list I remove it (it goes to a Been There Done That list) and every time I come across something really cool, neat or interesting I add it. Some things are very basic and easily accomplished (it’s a matter of timing) while others are a little more difficult. Here is my list:
