Someone polled 2,000 people and asked them to name things you should accomplish, or at least strive for, by the time you hit 40. I broke the best ones down into five categories.
1. Relationship stuff: Fall in love was the #1 answer overall. But also, have a one-night stand, have your heart broken, get married, and have a kid.
2. Career stuff: Earn a degree, reach management level, get fired, start a business, land your dream job, volunteer, and save for retirement.
3. Travelling: Visit other continents, go on a cruise, go whale watching, see a Broadway show, see some of the Seven Wonders of the World, and fly first class at least once.
4. Living arrangements: Have an apartment in the middle of a city, live outside a city, buy a house, and have a mortgage.
5. Random life events: Own a pet, have a really bad hangover, win at least 10 bucks on a lottery ticket, try to be vegetarian, attend a black-tie event, go skinny dipping, and fight someone.
