What will you be doing in the year 2037?

[HighlandWorrier]

Inspired by DS's homework project, I decided to write my own essay on how my life will be in 2037. Come and share what you will all be doing in 2037 yourselves...

It is the year 2037, I am 62 years of age. DH and I are enjoying our retirement in the South of France where we spend half the year. DH has taken up golf and I am still occasionally teaching piano. We spend our days relaxing by the pool and having lots of cheese and fine wines, what's not to love!

DS has just got married to a lovely Irish girl and is working at a prestigious law firm. DD is studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and we are looking forward to her visit next week, when we get to meet her new boyfriend!

Ours days in Scotland seem a lifetime ago, when the kids were little and causing mayhem. The years do start to fly by once you reach this age...

Hmm.... I'll be retired and living in a little flat which is easy to clean, but in a really nice area. I'll have several holidays a year and explore as much of the world as I can.
Ds will be 25, in a loving relationship and considering having his first child. He'll be working as an engineer in an interesting and fulfilling job that probably hasn't been invented yet.
I will spend my time (when not on holiday) walking dogs, volunteering at a local school and singing in at least two different choirs.

I will be 59 years old!
I am going to be one of those well dressed ladies who has lots of little hobbies to keep me busy.

I hopefully will have a 28 year old (whose only a hope atm) my hope for my future child is to be a happy healthy person who finds a passion for something in life.
We will be living in spain but hopefully have our home in england still where we will have regular family get togethers

2037 I'll be 50, dd1 will be 27, probably fired for the umpteenth time cause she tells managers how much better she is, but maybe in a nursery/childcare role as she is VERY considerate and caring of young children. Dd2 will be 26, likely a doctor and married. D's will be 21, hopefully about finished with uni and just learning life isn't just sleep till 11, hangover, fry up and repeat!
I'll be broke paying for weddings, uni etc but enjoying my work with my own childcare business.

I will be 47 years old so will still be working. I'll be living in a little 2 bedroom house and travelling as much as I can. I'll be in a relationship with a nice man (currently I'm single so no idea who it will be!) I'll spend a lot of time socialising with friends and enjoying life.

DS will be 24. I don't know what he'll be doing but he'll be happy, that's the only thing I want.

I will be 71...probably living in small council bungalow..and still working..and have a cat...
DC will pop round/call once a week...

DC will be middle aged...eeek!

I will be 46 and would have qualified as a nurse 16 years ago (hopefully!) we will have moved back down south and our kids will be 24 and 26. And our dogs probably won't be around anymore

I'll be 56... Or would have been if I hadn't died under myterious circumstances at 48.

Sitting in one of those push-you-up chairs lined up around the walls of an old people’s home, drooling.

I'll be 71. Living in a canal boat. Practicing yoga and socialising with my friends.
Namaste.

I'll be 58, probably Global head in my current role, having built the departments through my jurisdiction and onwards through the global offices. I'll already be planning my retirement bash and the thrill seeking holiday DH and I will be going on immediately afterwards. I also do motivational speaking on the side and am studying hypnotherapy and life coaching so I've got something to focus on after I retire from the corporate world.

DH will be Chief Project Manager (he's close enough now really), probably spending his days driving his golf buggy and consulting.

We'll remain on island until we retire at 60, at which point we'll relocate up to our ranch cottage in the Carolinas, get another dog to join me on trail hikes and runs (assuming I'm still fit and healthy). I'll go on yoga retreats on a regular basis.

DS1 is 26, and is 3 year PQE at one of the major offshore law firms here (hopefully mine), having had pretty decent exposure competing in some kind of sport to have gained him recognition.

DS2 is 23, fresh out of uni and is a "musician" convinced his band are going to be the next best thing. He will be living at home after graduation and DH and I will spend a lot of time telling him to get his arse out of bed, to get a job and realise that he can't sale through life on charm alone. He'll have a girlfriend that I regularly have to soothe when I find in tears because he's being an idiot.
DS2 will eventually realise it's a very big world and at 25 will have saved enough money to take himself off on a solo trip around the world like I did at the same age. He will come back all "namaste" and "life is all about love man". After another year or so, he'll settle down and find something he loves doing.

I'll be 80 that year. But with my family's lack of longevity genes, I'll probably be dead.

I'll be 43 and the kids will be 21 and 19, there may be more! DP will be 50.

Me and DP (I should hope he is DH by then!) will have the mortgage paid off and living life a bit more.
I'll be working part time, nothing to stressful because I'll still have lots of years left to work before retirement

I’ll be mid 70s. Hopefully with several grandchildren to adore and indulge. We’ll be spending time on our boat travelling the waterways of Europe. We’ll be looking forward to time with our children and their families.
We’ll have a similar social life of supper parties, cinema trips, the occasional bigger local event. We’ll maybe both have non executive roles but might be thinking of stepping down. Depends on commitment to family.
We’ll spend a few weeks a year at our cottage on the IOW swimming, walking and nice meals.
I’ll spend more time in kitchen garden and preserving etc. A bit of charity work. Playing the piano for the local primary. Book clubs, French club and Bridge suppers. Making fancy dress costumes, birthday cakes and sewing name labels - if they are wanted.
Drinking good wine and watching the sunset.

Who knows?

I’ll be 70 . Hopefully me and DP (he’s 11 years older than me) will be in good health and enjoying pottering around. We’ve no great plans for traveling the world but with luck we will be able to holiday wherever and whenever we choose.

What a fab thread, but how utterly terrifying to think that far ahead! I'll be 51 my DC will be 24, 22 and not sure of the ages the rest of them will be here's hoping for 2 more. DH will still be working but maybe closer to home. I will be ferrying the younger children round to their activities and clubs, and there's a particular charity close to our hearts that I'd love to get involved in once all the DC are a bit older.

Errrrm 2037 is only years away. How could you hopefully have a 28 year old?

I will be 63. Twin daughters 22. They will be working a grad job at PWC and NASA.

I will have won the lottery and husband and I will be eating and drinking our way round the world! 😁🍲🍘🌯🥐🧀🍮🍰🥂🥃🍻

Sorry should have said only 19 years away

I'll be 54 in 2037 and still working.

Hopefully I'll have met the man of my dreams and a had couple more kids.

DD will be 30 with her own career, partner and some kids.

My mum will be 79 and still bossing me about me.

I'll be 54 that year and my kids will be 36, 31 and 21 so I will hopefully only have the 21 year old living at home or staying here when she is on a break from uni. DS1 will be married and have 2 children who we see lots of, he works in advertising and has a good income but no airs and graces. DS2 will be just buying his first home with his pregnant partner/wife and works in sports fitness, he's a cheeky chappy who took a while to find the right girl. DP is still working although in a less physical job and we have lots of little holidays through the year while looking after the grandkids often. I would love to have great relationships with my DILs and have the kids sleep over to allow them and my sons to have nights away and know their kids are safe and looked after. DD doesn't want kids at all yet and has no intention of settling down but knows what kind of man she wants and won't settle for anything less. She loves spending time with us and loves nothing more than our friday nights snuggled on the sofa watching movies with me and getting things off her chest.

And my house is finally clean and tidy and something to be proud of.

I am 53, my children are all late teens/early adults, I am working as a physiotherapist part time and my husband is head engineer of his department. We go on long weekends and cruises frequently, as well as setting off camping and doing the odd festival. Last month I went to Ibiza wirh my daughter.

Our house is all but paid off and we are comfortable and happy

Either dead or very very old

I won't be here...

Unless human beings make dramatic changes to their lifestyles, I'll be living in a very polluted and environmentally disturbed world, with very few wild spaces and great social inequality.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer.

"Man plans, and God laughs". Old Yiddish saying.

I will be 71
If I'm really really lucky I might be able to retire (NHS , the retirement age keeps slipping further and further )

I hope I'll still be healthy, able to harass my DC and maybe , some grandchildren?
