9,000 euro at most

You already have €600K? You need to go right now and buy that merc.... And please post pics, ok?

And I, and I am sure many others, want to hear more about your process to reach the €1.2 Million.

I went scuba diving Andiv. Go to Roatan Honduras, you will be amazed! I went to the barrier reef and with the sharks on the other side of the island. It was amazing. Getting certified only takes a few hours. Flight was only 2 and a half hours from Houston! I can't get enough of that place.

I'm not really a "bucket list" kind of guy. I like living life rather organically.

I enjoy making decisions as the situation arises - planning ahead has never been my thing. Figuring things out as I go is exciting. I love getting lost, forgetting things, being routed to places I didn't expect to go and meeting people I didn't expect to meet.

I'll put together big plans for my work life but when it comes to what I want out of life itself I rarely if ever think more than a year out. I create checklists mostly from my past, not for my future.

I know. And I have a place 2 miles from home where I could take the class. Being procrastinating on that one... Thanks for the tip.

I also can drive to this place, close to home, I want to go to for it:
Drive an Underwater School Bus at this Virginia Scuba Spot || Jaunted
Lake Rawlings - A Scuba and Camping Park

And it is just a 3 hour drive from my home.

I need to find the right day on my calendar to get it done...

Care to share?

Care to share?

I went to Maui, Hawaii for my honeymoon (took about a day to decide that was where we wanted to go once we decided we wanted to get out of the country). We had no idea what we wanted to do but "hell, it sounds fun". We had no plans when we got in the plane other than the place we were staying at. While there we figured it out as we went and:

- Drove 10,000 feet above sea level (drove THROUGH clouds) to watch the sunset from above cloud level.
- While there I noticed on a small, neglected plaque claiming this spot to be the 4th best viewing conditions of stars on earth. Saw the most glorious display of the milky way of my life. We were one of two people who stayed, the other dozen or so left immediately after sunset.
- Jet skied & para-sailed for the first time
- Went to some random Luau and had a blast
- Flew over an active volcano
- Walked up to waterfalls
- Other Hawaii "things" not worth mentioning that me and my wife will never forget

None of it was planned - we just woke up each day, went outside and figured it out. Our hunger would land us in whatever restaurant was closest and various signs would lead us to various activities.

Other things I've done relatively "spur of the moment" include:

- Hiking an hour into a national park to go winter camping with all the incorrect supplies and nearly froze to death (that one was fun, me and a buddy still do it every year, it's much warmer once you know what you are doing)
- Flew to Florida for a week and did the whole Disney thing. This was completely random - I think I just got an unexpected bonus check or something and said "let's leave town" and chose Disney when we realized we both had never been. We actually got F*ckED by the airline on the way back and ended up spending an amazing night at some random hotel in Washington laughing, drinking, and joking around.
- Drove to Myrtle Beach for a family trip with the in-laws in much the same way.
- Decided to go to New York City with some buddies and my wife on a long weekend with less than a week's notice. I think we were just hanging out, saw an ad for New York and we all kind of said "I'd love to go" and off we went a few days later. Ended up being the worst trip of my life but it taught me that I don't enjoy travelling with my friends AND wife at the same time.

I could go on and on. No individual point is all that interesting to an outside person (I imagine it reads much like seeing someone else's vacation slideshow) but the point is almost all of the happiest memories I have were usually the result of saying "let's just figure it out as we go".

One of mine is to have sex with every girl I have wanted to have sex with, within reason. I am not talking like famous movie stars, etc. Just friends who I probably wouldn't date, but might be fun to have a night with. Probably won't happen unless I dumped my Slowlane girlfriend or cheated. But they don't seem like the cheating type either lol.

:smilielol: omg dude, break up with the girl if you're thinkin that!


Aside from building a successful fastlane start up and ending with a liquidation point, here's ma list:

1. Travel to every ancient city.
2. Create a personal flying machine from scratch.
3. Build a house by hand.
4. Move to a secluded place or beach pad for a year.
5. Get married and have kids!
6. Drive across the United States and down to South America.
7. Drive across Europe.
8. Join a secret society.
9. Don't shave for an entire year.
10. Survive a near death experience.
11. Adopt a puppy!
12. Adopt a kitten!

Travel to every ancient city

Which ones are those?

Join a secret society.

The fastlane may not be that secret, or a society. Do we score points here for you?

Don't shave for an entire year.

Easy! I assume you already started this one, right?

Drive across Europe.

How much will this cost you?
How much time would be needed?

Join a secret society.

The freemasons are surprisingly easy to get into these days.

 

[dknise]

The freemasons are surprisingly easy to get into these days.

Ya but they're not secret, only certain sects are.

Which ones are those?

Tikal, Machu Picchu, Tiwanaku, Teotihuacan, Cairo, Luxor, Petra, Rom, Angkor Wat... so many places! I'm obsessed.

The fastlane may not be that secret, or a society. Do we score points here for you?

Huge points here! I'd love to come to one of the meetups some day. I saw the move "The Skulls" about the skull and bones society and I've wanted to join one ever since. A group that denies it's existence, supports each other in fraternal bonds, and is ultimately a very successful group of people. Is that weird?

Easy! I assume you already started this one, right?

Nope! I should tho. I got my dad's beard tho which puts 8th graders at more facial hair than I'll ever have haha.

How much will this cost you?
How much time would be needed?

Depends how I travel, but I'd love to do it after I am successful but before I have kids. It'd be cool to stay in small hotels, but it's also on my bucket list to stay at a hostel. A year or two would be an incredible experience.

I really need to get to sleep but I'm gonna search for your bucket list tomorrow, anviv

 

[JAJT]

Tikal

This is an excellent board game by the way.

Just saying...

I can confirm I crossed # 3 off my list this summer. I also surfed. It was great.

#6 is not enticing anymore.... hmmmm interesting how we change, huh?

With #6, the marathon, skip it! Your knees and back will thank you later.

Did you have a thread about going skydiving? That'd be pretty cool to see! haha was it tandem or static line?

I need to add surfing to my bucket list! Shark week on Discovery just freaks me out. I don't mind fish, but I do mind when I can't see them.

That's cool that you're actively working to check off the things from your list. I like how quick and to the point your list was. Things you can actually go out and do without a huge life commitment... might be time for me to reprioritize so I can try and go live a little!

Oh ya, and go scuba diving somewhere tropical! If it's dark, spooky water, it's not nearly as cool!

 

[andviv]

Did you have a thread about going skydiving? That'd be pretty cool to see!

do a search here in the forum for "living life" (with quotes). I've posted about this, surfing, going to concerts...

was it tandem or static line?

Tandem.

I like how quick and to the point your list was.

Thanks. I really like that people create mental barriers for things that are rather easy to accomplish.

I do not like grandiose goals because they become unattainable due to complexity and too many variables.

go scuba diving somewhere tropical! If it's dark, spooky water, it's not nearly as cool!

Thanks for the advice. I need to schedule this one, but have just too many things going on right now. I want to take it easier. After all, it was a very hectic summer for me.

Interesting thread blast-from-the-past...

Many years have gone by, wondering how many have been done, in the works, or have been forgotten.

 

[Olimac21]

Learning how to play piano
Living in an asian country
Write a book

Those are the top of my head at the moment.

Though we have to wait a bit to travel, I’ve always wanted to go to Greece and Hawaii.

I want to spend a solid month in another area or travel for that length of time at some point.

Hoping to maybe be a snowbird, but I don’t necessarily want own another property.

I met a rapper before. I would love to meet a rockstar.

I have some bucket list concerts I want to see. There’s too many to name.
Luckily, I lived in Spain, visited France, Belgium, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Portugal and other places. I’d have to brainstorm other places to visit too.

Honestly, just being able to sleep in when I'm tired without worrying about going broke. That alone would make everything so much better. Lol

Employee, business owner - doesn't matter if you're grinding nonstop for decades.

I’m very much a planner, but I like to let things unfold too. Great reminder. Thanks for sharing.

Excuse my typo. *I like to let things unfold too.
