As it is the start of a new decade where do you hope to be by the end of the next decade

I will be 36 in January 2030 , quite scary , hopefully I will be more progressed in life by then.

Living in Scotland, probably in the Cairngorms with a sewing studio in the garden that I can work in undisturbed. Maybe one of my three daughters might have had children by then, so I can go visiting them regularly.

formerbabe · 31/12/2019 22:43

Both my dc will be adults...I will be 48. I hope I will have carved out a career for myself...or maybe just any job! I hope that I'll be spending my time doing all the things I haven't been able to do as freely as I've wanted...mainly lots of nights out, childfree holidays and traveling with mrformer. I hope both my dc will be enjoying their lives and working hard.

StylishMummy · 31/12/2019 22:44

Maybe with another child, in a bigger house & generally enjoying a normal family life. Happy and content

ADrabLittleCrab · 31/12/2019 22:45

I'll be 58 and retired .......here's hoping 🤞

Triglesoffy · 31/12/2019 22:46

Back in the EU.

Helini · 31/12/2019 22:47

Dear god, I hope I'll be sleeping through the night. A solid 8/9 hours of undisturbed sleep. Jesus. That would be wonderful. DS will be 12 in 2030 so it could happen?

iVampire · 31/12/2019 22:48

Alive, I hope

With the leukaemia effectively suppressed by drugs with minimal side effects

With the DC launched and happy

Maybe even a grandparent

Still running, with good friends, and way more laughter than recent years

And possibly a dog

Pogmella · 31/12/2019 22:50

Married! To my current chap. 2nd wedding, last marriage ended in infidelity after 3 short years so hoping this one’s a keeper...

AMartel · 31/12/2019 22:53

Married with babies.

Feeling v sad tonight. All my friends are staying in with their husbands, long term partners and/or babies and I'm completely and utterly single.

aurynne · 31/12/2019 22:53

As I am a person who thrives on spontaneity and change, I have no idea where I will be in some months, let alone a decade. But I hope I have by then started perhaps another profession (it would be my third), done some volunteering and found a way to see my family in my jome country more oten. I am also curious whether, as predicted, 2030 is really the year that climate change starts an irreversible chain reaction which brings on the collapse of civilisation. If so, I hope the end is quick and painless.

EssentialHummus · 31/12/2019 22:55

I’ll be 44. I hope I’ll have a second DC with DH. I wonder if we’ll still live in London, not sure. Looking back ten years my life now was unimaginable (in a good way) - can only hope for the same.

TheGinGenie · 31/12/2019 22:56

I'll be 43. I'd love to be married with lots of children and pets and no more debt or money worries but I'm not really hopeful about any of these things.

TheGinGenie · 31/12/2019 22:57

@AMartel I could have written your post, I feel exactly the same

CareOfPunts · 31/12/2019 22:57

36 isn’t scary. I’ll be 56 with 2 adult children!

AuntieMarys · 31/12/2019 22:59

I will be 70. Hopefully mobile and in charge of faculties. If not off to Switzerland

shinynewapplesonachristmastree · 31/12/2019 23:01

That is the year I will be officially of retirement age, so I will either just be retiring or hopefully even retired a couple of years early or at least cut back my hours even further.

I hope I will be able to afford to get out a bit, really would like to be able to go somewhere warm (just Spain) for a month or so in the winter (just a basic apartment).

I hope I am fit and healthy and that I put into practice my resolutions for the coming months to lose some weight and get and stay fitter.

DS will be late 20's so possibly a grandchild.

missyB1 · 31/12/2019 23:09

I will be 61,and hope to be retired. Dh will probably be able to go part time by then and we should be able to spend more time together. Will hopefully be a grandma as well.
All of this assuming that my breast cancer doesn’t come back and that dh’s cancer is well controlled.

SentimentalKiller · 31/12/2019 23:15

Alive. I'm easily pleased 😌

magimedi · 31/12/2019 23:17

I will be mid 70s, so I hope to be still alive. Dh will be mid 80's....

36 is in no way scary - you have (hopefully) a long way to go.

Danni12 · 31/12/2019 23:18

Happy, I just want to be happy

thenightsky · 31/12/2019 23:20

I'll be 70 and DH will be 77. Now that is scary!

I hope DS will be ok (SN) and that DD and her lovely DP give me grandchildren. That's as far as I dare go.

TravellingSpoon · 31/12/2019 23:28

I will be 47. I hope to be in a career I like, with adult children who are happy, and with DS living as independently as possible.

I would also like to live closer to my dad, and hope that he has retired happily.

raspberrymolakoff · 31/12/2019 23:42

Alive and functioning please. Same for DH. We will be well into our 70s and already are losing too many friends.

DuckWillow · 31/12/2019 23:44

Fuck off OP....lol...I will be 63 and nearly 64 in 2030:take your 36 and enjoy 😁

betternamechangeforthisone · 31/12/2019 23:47

What a great question.

I’ll hopefully be fully qualified in my chosen profession and working full time instead of late starts/early finishes for school times.

Well either have moved house or extended the house we live in now.

Well be married.

Hopefully better with money.
