What do you think your life will look like in 2030?

[Backintothewoods]

I’ll have a nine year old and a six year old. I’ll be 49, turning 50. Hoping life will be easier in many ways and not quite as full on!

I hope to be part time at work although I’ll ask for three days spread over four so I can drop off and pick up at school, very much hoping (and longing) for one day off a week.

Hope we will have more money!

I will be 47, with a 24 year old and a 17 year old lol OH will be 53. I will be hopefully living in a new house and will have sold this one for a profit. Be working less, but in something I love and will have finished my degree 😊👍Fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear that. Such a difficult situation. 💐

I'll be 43
That's scary in itself

DC will be 17 and 16
Cats will probably have passed away

I hope I'll be happier than I am now

In 2030, I'll be 45 and DH 47.

Our kids will be 24 and 19. I'd like to be full time at work, hopefully in a professional career that I will study for over the next few years as the kids get older.

Even if I don't manage to retrain, we should have more money because I will be working FT for the first time since having the kids. The mortgage will be almost paid off too.

Hm I'll hopefully have an 11 year old and a 9 year old. Currently I'm a SAHM, I doubt I will be then so let's see. Hopefully the dog will be calmer by then...

Just me and my beloved cats, pottering around our beautiful home and garden.
Mortgage will be paid off and l can reduce my hours.
Hoping to continue living a peaceful life with no drama. I live very happily alone with my plants and books.

I am retired and by then DH will have joined me in retirement, he will have been retired for 2 years. He is almost 3 years younger than me.

We will possibly have relocated by then if the right house comes up but we plan to travel extensively as soon as he retires round Europe and Canada in a mobile home so that’s the priority. If things go to plan DS and his GF will be marrying around this time period as well.

I will be turning 41, DS 10 & hopefully have a 6 year old too.

I wonder if we would have other children or if this will be our last.

Hopefully as content as we are now. Probably facing a bit of a life move due to work.

I will be 40 and have a 11 year old and a 8 year old. Hopefully less burnt out and fat 🤣

I’m 48 now and on the cusp of some pretty major life changes. I’ll be 54 approaching 55 by then so all going well…

Living in Yorkshire, with the mortgage paid off

Working a max of 4 days a week (ideally 3.5) as a CYP Mental Health Practitioner

DD settled somewhere happily and in a good job post uni

Enough disposable income for hobbies, socialising and travel and friends to enjoy those things with

A sexy chap in the background would be a bonus 😁!

I'm the same age as you op but DC will be 22/23 and 18/19 respectively in 2030.

I don't know if much will change. I hope to have a little bit more time for hobbies I suppose as the DC will be less dependent. We might have moved.

My Dad has a recent ish dementia diagnosis and I think the only thing I can state with certainty is that due to type, he won't be here or I'll still have significant caring responsibilities. Oh God ☹️

Just hoping to be alive and healthy tbh. I’ve seen so many people not make it through their fifties.

I will be 39, my DH will be 40. DD will be 20 and DS will be 15. I think my DS should finally have the support he needs to manage his ASD/ADHD in school and if I'm lucky DD will be working towards the career she really wants right now. I just hope and pray my family is happy and healthy. I will hopefully have improved even more from my SAH and have no ill effects (neurological function back go "normal"). I don't see us moving or DH changing careers except maybe moving up in his chosen field. Hopefully my BIL & SIL have settled down and my future nephew is now a big lad and settled into primary school in 2030. I hope we all remain close.

No idea, best case scenario is similar to now, to terrifying to think this far into the future. I tend to live day to day and not think about what the future will bring. It’s the only way I can cope.

I'll be 58. My DC will be 33 and 32.

My mother will probably be living with us, if she's still alive (she has a life limiting condition).

Other than that, I suspect the rest of my life will be pretty much as is.

On a personal level, I'll be 61 & DH will be 66. Hopefully we'll be getting close to being able to retire, although the last 4 years have made me realise beyond doubt that nothing in life is certain. In a good scenario we'll be finding that cottage by the sea...

DS will be 23 & perhaps taking a gap year before starting work, if the A levels go well this summer.

DDog will be lovely & goofy still.

I fear society will be more polarised & good education, healthcare & travel even more the preserve of the rich.

I'll be 61 and hopefully retired!

I’ll be 45 with a 13 year old.
I’d like to think things are easier …. Financially and also just daily life.
I think I will still be working full time but like a previous poster I dream of a 4 day week. Id hopefully still have the same job though as I’m enjoying it.
in my dreams we would have moved but in reality I hope we have an extension as the house how it is laid out at the moment I don’t think would work too well with a teen. A few holidays would be nice …. Can’t have one this year as it’s just too tight and it’s usually something we prioritise.

I'll be 52, DC will be 21, 18 & 16. We will have paid off all our debts & should be able to afford an extension on our house. I think I might have branched out into an additional career by then. We will travel lots. Pretty exciting.

Hopefully my health will be as good as it is now, I'll still be working, and I'll have started receiving my state pension.

Happy days.

(Don't come at me saying I should retire- I don't have private pensions as raised 4 kids as a single Mum, always worked. Also my role is very niche and my boss has said I need to never retire!😂😂😂)

I will have hopefully be semi retired. I hope my health won't be too bad as it's not been great the past couple of years. It does worry me.

Kids will be 13 & 18; I’ll be early 40s, hopefully mortgage will be pretty much paid off. DH will be planning towards retirement a few years later, I’d like to be retraining for something less stressful. We’ll still be living in the same house & hopefully completed all major work inside & garden.

Enjoying nice holidays, more freedom as a couple. The thought of DC1 heading off to uni or whatever does fill me with anxiety though, I can’t imagine ever being ready for them to move out

In 2030 I'll be several years into my retirement!!! But my mum will be 80 and dad will be 82 if still going.

This has just made me realise that 2030 is not far off! I bought a new car a year ago with a 7 year warranty so I'd hope it'll still be on the scene! DS who just started primary will go to secondary in 2030. DD will be 8. I hope we'll be in the same house, chipping away at the mortgage in bigger chunks than we are now.
