CaNz Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 A wise old master once said, "Always in motion is the future," but that doesn't stop us from dreaming up what it could be. We may not be able to see the future, but I am sure we have an okay shot at predicting at our own destiny. So where do you think you will be in 8 years? Will you be in a new job, a new place of your own, or maybe even have a family of your own? As for me, I am really unsure about my future. My plans for the future have the same failure rate as the original Xbox 360, and my typical unluckiness doesn't help. I still have a direction I am gonna try to move towards. In 8 years I see myself in a teachers assistant position, and maybe playing more poker if I continue to preform well. As for my place of residence, I am hoping I can get the hell out of California. If I get the chance I am moving to Colorado, It is the only place that has weather I like more than here, yet it is far more in my means. I also have family there that i desperately miss, and I am not too far away from the rest of my family and friends. As far as having a family or not, I am not planning on having kids at 30, but I would really want to be in a stable relationship by then. I doubt I will get any better looking after 30 so I am not looking forward to a swingers lifestyle. Other than that, my plans are pretty open.

Japan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 This is somewhat uncomfortable to say. However, I see myself being married and with children. I will be done with, or almost done with my early childhood education degree. I will definitely have a car and a driver's license by then. Perhaps I will know how to cook more and sew better? I also see myself being able to can food as well. Time will only tell. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korey Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 [font="Tahoma"]I see myself turning into Gojira and rampaging through Tokyo. In 8 years I'd really like to be married and have a somewhat steady career. My views on children have changed now that I've worked in customer service for the Food Industry. Screaming children are just not my bag. Plus I've grown fond of traveling, so the more I can do the better. I'd like to say that in 8 years I'd have visited every big big metro area in the U.S. (I'm working on Europe atm). So Far I've been to LA, DC, Vegas, Dallas, and the Twin Cities. Areas I'm still hopeful for are NYC, Miami and Boston. [/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[*]Get the heck out of here. [*]Get married. [/list] Probably in that order. Also, no kids for me, either. I'd be a horrible mom; my patience is thin enough with a hyperactive dog and other people's kids, and I don't think I could handle being responsible for another person's life.[/font][/color] Edited December 1, 2011 by Sangome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 In 8 years I'll be 35.... #### If I'm not back in school by then I'll probably be in Arizona or California with another job (perhaps dealing with architecture), riding around in one of the muscle cars (Camaro, Challenger, Charger, Mustang... 1 of those will be bought within the next year or 2), and probably paying off the rest of my student loans. As far as kids goes, I'm not really interested in them right now, nor am I looking to get married (mainly trying to get myself situated before looking for relationships and whatnot.. I don't mind the ocassional flirting here and there though), however, by that time who knows what will happen. Also, I'd like to at least pay a visit to Vegas and Miami/Orlando by that time as well. I don't do much traveling, so hopefully I get to do that. Hmm... Perhaps I'll be taking up some form of martial arts again as well. That's all I can think of for now.

Inuyasha Fandom Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Eventually, I want to either work in the character development area of video games or do my own comic books. In eight years, i can see myself attending school to get a degree and with a man waiting for me when I get home, encouragimg me to work harder and always backing me up no matter what I do with my life.

TalosHedgie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just like now, I'll still be without any sort of girlfriend, and probably give up on dreams of becoming an artist and doctor and start lurking on 4chan. Not really much to look forward to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol' Fighter Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 It's kinda funny how many us here will be 30 in 8 years time including myself, haha. Let's see... 8 years time.... * Hopefully I'll officially be having my BSN * My own humble abode to call mi casa * Maybe I'll get myself into another relationship, but that's a big ol' meh. * To have traveled to at least 4 different countries. I figure these things won't be too hard if I buckle down and don't party as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no longer in Michigan but wish to move back. I still have no kids Don't live in a very nice house, but it's good enough for how little I pay rent for it. Used to have a good job, but Covid-19 changed that. Not married, had a serious relationship a few years ago. No Bachelor's - too much money but have associates in IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japan Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) So it's check in time. It's been over eight years. Were your predictions true? I actually went the Healthcare route, getting my cna and working in in home health. Surprisingly I am married, a step mom and another baby on the way. I do have a car.... Second car actually. I upgraded. I also finally got to visit Japan in 2016. It's so strange knowing I'm going to be a stay at home mom soon too.
