Building Your Bucket List
No one can make your bucket list but you. A bucket list is simply a list of all the fun things you would like to do before you die. Some of them will be easier than others. Some will cost more money than others. Some may be dangerous, some may be scary and some may be very difficult. I believe you will have more satisfaction with the ones that take a little work on your part.
- What are some places that you would like to visit and what would you like to do when you get there?
- Who will do these things with you, if anyone? Many can be done solo and you will meet people along the journey.
- What is the budget for these items and where will the money come from?
- Will you do some of these things while you are still working, will you take vacation or a leave of absence or will you wait until you retire?
Please comment below if you are willing to begin building your bucket list. Also, please include at least one thing that immediately came to mind for you to add to your list.
