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.

My DS we will be applying for secondary school places. Want to have retrained so I can use all my skills. Decided in 5 years when both children are not in nursery I can think of doing it.

Hopefully fitter maybe completed a 10k. But still hopefully happily married

ineedanotherholiday · 31/12/2019 23:51

Happy and healthy. With healthy children and hopefully dh still loving a normal family life.

Dowser · 31/12/2019 23:56

Alive 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Dowser · 01/01/2020 00:01

I ( hopefully) will be staring 78 in the face and dh 76
I’d love to be still alive, all faculties and mobility looking no older and dh the same

It’s a scary question when in late 60s
Me and dh have been together just a little more than a decade and it’s just whizzed by 😢

elliejjtiny · 01/01/2020 00:12

I'll be 47 and dh will be 50. Dc's will be 23, 21, nearly 19, 16 and 15. Slightly scary to think that my little Dc3 could be driving! Might have one or 2 of the dc married and /or with dc by then. Hopefully I'll be thinner.

ploughingthrough · 01/01/2020 00:15

Living back in the UK in the countryside in the big house that im currently working abroad to save for! Working a little less and taking care of myself a little more.

Patsypie · 01/01/2020 00:19

Dead. Happy new year!

Stompythedinosaur · 01/01/2020 00:23

The dc will be nearly grown, so I hope I'll be in a position to support them through uni (if they want to go) and with house deposits.

I hope I'll have taken the next (and final) step in my career, but there's no guarantee a role will become vacant.

Otherwise I hope I'm still in my little house in the middle of a forest with all my pets and my lovely dp watching the world go by.

I hope my mum is still with us too.

Rememberfluffthecat · 01/01/2020 00:23

Will be 60 by then. Hopefully alive and the cancer has not recurred. Hopefully with the same man, my husband, who is amazing. Hopefully happy and healthy. Happy new year everyone x

DamsonDress · 01/01/2020 00:26

I hope we'll be as we are. Same house, same job, but mortgage a bit smaller. I've no grand ambitions tbh.

I mainly worry about the kids. They'll be in their early 20s then. I hope they're happy and at least one of them is, well, employable will do.

I mainly just hope we're all healthy and happy. I hope our parents are well and we are in a position to help if and when they need it.

If they've managed to find a Ferrero Richer flavoured elixir that helps me grow a foot taller and shed 3 stone well that would be ok too.

Elzbells · 01/01/2020 00:28

54 with children 21 and 19. Hopefully enjoying life with DH and spending lots of money on uni fees. Definitely won't have my dad as he has lung cancer but hopefully will still have my mum who would be 82.

I'm hoping my little family just have each other and our health and I am going into 2020 with a plan to make sure I'm still around for a while yet.

WwfLeopard · 01/01/2020 00:32

Healthy and happy in new career, with a happy healthy 23 year ds, he hopes to have a car 😂

FurryPie · 01/01/2020 00:35

I’ll be 45 and my DC will be 25, 20 and 17. And that’s just scared the shit out of me writing it down

I hope to be happy, married and just content with life. Had a pretty shit 10 years, so here’s to hoping the next 10 are better

notthenormal · 01/01/2020 00:38

Gosh I will be 50 with children of 30 & 28, so a grand kid and to have my own mortgage

Mumof1andacat · 01/01/2020 00:38

Just turned 45 in an established clinical career in the NHS. Still with dh who will be in a good career also in which he is happy. Ds will be nearly 17 and thinking about uni. I would love a good social life which since having ds has suffered due to dh working long hours so not around but it's going to change.a couple more cats wouldn't go a miss! 😺

bettybattenburg · 01/01/2020 00:43

I hope to have been able to retire from work by then. My children will all be in their 30s and I hope they will be happy and doing what makes them happy. I expect I'll still be living in the same house as I am now unless something really unexpected happens and I have to move.

namechangenumber2 · 01/01/2020 00:46

I'll be nearly 50, hopefully living in the countryside somewhere. Two adult children and maybe a grandchild or 2?!

Thunderclearstheair · 01/01/2020 00:47

iVampire good luck my love

Hopefully our business will be thriving and my kids will just happy. I hope me and dh haven’t killed each other or divorced through our business and be sipping champers in France somewhere in our new holiday home that we dream of

Mammyloveswine · 01/01/2020 00:52

I'll be 42... atm not sure whether I'll be with DH or not... will have progressed in my career and hopefully have another DC...

Tobermory · 01/01/2020 00:52

This is a great question.
In ten years, I’ll be 56 (hopefully) . I say hopefully, because I have a fear that I won’t live that long. My DM died when she was 48 and As a result I have dark worries that I’ll be the same. So for me to get to 56 will be bloody amazing!

In 2030 my two DDs will be 22 and 19 and almost grown. I hope they are happy in whatever path they have chosen be it Uni, work or travel.

The last ten years have been busy with house moves and so it would be nice to have a period of stability. If we are in the same house, I’ll have a wood burner and a nice lounge carpet ( we’ve just got a puppy so nice lounge carpets aren’t high on the list!) Though if DH said ‘sod it’ let’s move to live by the sea, id be up for that too.

I’ll still be working unless we win big on the lottery but hopefully in the next ten years DH will be able to drop a day . Hopefully Boris’ Ofsted promises won’t have to come to anything, and the work-life balanceof a teacher will be healthier!

Hooleywhipper · 01/01/2020 00:54

I will be 60, hopefully heading to retirement or at least minimal hours. Would love to be travelling quite regularly 🤞🏻.

naughty40me · 01/01/2020 01:00

I will be 50. Hopefully I won't be single anymore lol, will have moved out of this awful house and I might even have some spare cash!

My kids will be 20 and 23 but I best not be a granny!!

Tigger001 · 01/01/2020 01:04

Hopefully in exactly the same spot, tucked up in bed, in our lovely family home. With DS asleep in his room.

Difference being, mortgage will be paid off on this house, DH will be in bed with me and not working (that will be a battle he loves this part of his job ). Both retired and popping to France/Greece as often as we can with DS schooling.

Graymare · 01/01/2020 01:08

I'll be 49 with DC's 30, 18 and 12. Hopefully I will be happy and settled in myself and a career. I may or may not be with DP depending on how things go in the next few months. A grandchild would be great but happy to wait longer if necessary.

heidihigh · 01/01/2020 01:08

In a house of our own with DP and potentially a DC or 2
