Where do you hope to be by 2030?

[TazzyDrunk]

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.

What an interesting question..
I will be nearly 60 and for the first time in 40 years I won't have a child aged child!

My oldest will be 40 and my youngest will have turned 18.

I hope to be a granny many times over and that my business and career builds and is still going from strength to strength.

I wish my lovely husband to be healthy and still be by my side.

Interesting question
No idea which is actually quite scary

I will be seventy on New Year 2030. My hopes are to have fully retired and have Grandchildren by then. Our eldest is now 34, if either does choose to have children we would like to help as much as possible.

If not, ideally we are off to somewhere warmer, maybe Cyprus, for every Christmas and New year once we retire. The kids can visit if they want, with partners and so on. Up until now we have hosted them at our home every year and they come back to behave like teenagers all over again.

I'll be 65

Hopefully still around and in good health. Retired, hopefully with enough money to enjoy it. Probably in the same house, the mortgage will be paid off this year. Maybe there'll be grandchildren around. My eldest will be 36 then, and the youngest 32 so it's very possible.

In January 2030 I hope firstly to still be alive; secondly to have retained my health and not to have fractured any of my fragile osteoporotic bones and, thirdly, to still be able to do the things that I enjoy.

Happy.

I'll be 60. I'm hoping my children will all have finished whatever further education they decide to do - the youngest will be 24. I'll be broke from supporting them through it. Mortgage paid off.

Probably bumbling along doing similar work to what I do now, which would suit me pretty well.

Mostly I'm hoping we're all healthy and happy.

I've just figured out in 2030 I will be 50 and dh 61. Our kids will be 27 and 14. That has actually made me quite sad for some reason.

My only new year's resolution is to take one day at a time so I'm not giving a thought to a decade from now. Apart from reading this thread, of course

In 2030 I'll be 64,
Dh will be 63.
Dc will be 31! And 28!
Neither are in relation ships as yet but who knows, maybe by then, a grandchild or 2?
Unlikely to be retired, but still enjoying my job I hope.

I'll be 36 with a 15 year old by 2030.

More than anything I would like to feel settled in myself, with DS thriving. I've struggled massively with my confidence amongst other things in my 20s and I hope to be somewhat more secure by then. With any luck this will have allowed me to find a job I enjoy, with prospects and a decent life for us both.

A new partner and maybe a few more children would be wonderful, but If I'm happy, healthy and settled with the son I already have, I'll be more than satisfied.

Picture this: New Years Eve 2029.

Me, 41, a healthy weight in a sparkly dress toasting my two adult daughters and husband with something alcoholic and fizzy whilst my youngest daughter toasts with non-alcoholic fizz. I have a PhD and I earn more than minimum wage as an academic. I am short term debt-free, I have an excellent credit rating, and I have a holiday booked for 2030.

Right now I am due to graduate with an undergraduate degree in six months. I am around 7 stone heavier than I should be for a healthy BMI. I rely on student loans and my husband earns just over minimum wage. I have around £5000 of short-term debt, two CCJ's and a pitiful credit rating. I have no plans for any kind of holiday for the foreseeable future.

Things are changing this decade, I can feel it. Time to put in the work

I’ve been thinking about 2030 too. I’ll be 51 & DH 58, DC will be 26 & 23. DH will have retired from current job but we’ll both still be working. Not sure where we will be living but hoping for health & happiness all round. We want to travel a lot more in the next 18 months (exams allowing). DH & I are going to take a gap year once the children are through uni as we intend to pay for their studies. Maybe that will be 2030?

I will be 41 and DS 13 (almost 14). I hope to be debt free (DH managed to rack up £38000 of debt this decade without me knowing). I hope to be in our 15-20 year house in a beautiful part of the country rather than the run down city we are currently in. I hope to have had a decade of just enjoying DS' childhood and focusing on the simple things. I really really hope to have good health.

My dh doesn’t get hooked on numbers..he’s already outlived his father and grandfather by at least a dozen years.

It just dawned on me my beloved daughter will be 52, son 48 , dil almost 60 and sil 54

Grandchildren 32, 26, 25, 22, 20 and 20

This is the decade where we are going to see a lot of changes.
I hope they are all good.
For those battling life threatening illness I wish you all good health.

Also hoping to be healthy and happy, ditto my family.
Possibly mortgage free coinciding with kids going to uni (if they want to.)
And well established in new career which I'm currently retraining for.
And slightly less obsessed with mumsnet and therefore having more time to do other things...

I will be 71, have to face the fact that my parents will not be here (am incredibly lucky to have both parents alive at 61). I hope we will have moved, I don’t particularly like where we live now. Not sure if I want to retire, I currently work part time in a job I love so would happily carry on although DH would like to retire.
Would love to be slimmer (but I say that every New Year .
No major changes, I am generally very content with my life, lots of friends, hobbies and interests. I may or may not be a grandparent, doesn’t worry me either way, just hope my DS is happy and fulfilled in his life.

I currently enjoy going to the cinema with my DM & asking for ‘2 over 60’ tickets, soon we can both go out with our free bus passes .

I will be 59! I would love to be a grandparent, married to DP and have a settled calm life. The last 10 years have been pretty difficult in places so if in 2030 i can look back and feel at peace that would be great

This is the decade im dreading. I'll be 53 and DH 57. His mum i imagine will have passed away, she will be 90 but already in poor health. My parents will be in their 70s and i pray still in good health but worry this is the decade when i realise they aren't invincible!

I'll be 42 and my eldest will be 15. I hope I'm fitter and slimmer as I'm really unhappy with the way I look, but only I can change it!! I hope my DC are happy and healthy. Me & DH will be about to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary. I hope we'll have managed to take the DC to Disneyland Paris in the next decade. I know some people would say it's a terrible waste of money etc but it's on my bucket list!

I'd like to have found a part time job I love and that works around childcare.

I will be 35 with DS11! I will be married (next year) with hopefully one or two more DC. Maybe a bigger house but not fussy on that one! In a new job hopefully although I love my job now it's not something I want to do forever, well not at my current pay grade anyway!

I'll be 53.

I'd like this to be the decade I take control of my finances and get rid of debt.

I sadly don't think I'll have either parent by the end of this decade as neither has great health.

Hopefully I'll still be healthy and fit.

My kids will be 15 and 16, so we could be going through trying times there!

Older and wiser is the aim!

I'll be 48,hitting 49 that year, hopefully in full-time work. Maybe have a dog too.

Fab question I might put a detailed answer in an envelope and keep it to open in 10 years time! I’d love to read one from 2009

I’ll be almost 50 with an 18 year old and a 10 year old , hopefully all the work will be done to my house and we have better trains for my commute to work! Hopefully me and DP will still be secure in our jobs and we have a little money for a holiday now and then. I hope this country has changed for the better and the vulnerable are being looked after.
