What do you expect from life?

[Narz]

To survive & thrive during the turbulent years ahead.

Sex.

And science fiction goodies.

Maybe some love too.

Sadly, I'm not cut out for any of the things I just mentioned.

Be able to work enough years at a good enough wage without serious bad luck to save for retirement, so that I can enjoy my last decade or two on Earth in peace, without the stress.

In that same time frame, make an emotional investment and meet the person of my dreams. (Oh, if only fairy tales were reality)

Really, that's about it. Financial and emotional wealth. Each on its own is lacking, but together, why, they can't be matched.

Wow some intersting answers here!

Thread updated with a second quesion: How will you reach it?

Financial goals - My plan is to go through college. However, since that doesn't always pull through, I'll likely get a part time job eventually and, given that I'll likely still live with my parents, be able to save every penny. By the time I'm out of college, I can pursue a full time job, but have additional security because of all the money I'll be raking in from savings. (Think about it - a 10K a year job, fully invested, could give me an extra 1K a year in income; even the poor can become wealthy if given the chance to save)

Emotional - I have no bloody idea. I suspect the Forever Alone meme shall refer to me. Bah, screw it I'll be rich! *fist shake*
