To not have a grand plan - I just want to be a fabulous lady?

I see so many people with clear goals and ambitions but honestly, I just want to live well, enjoy life, and be fabulous. Is that such a bad thing? Do we put too much pressure on having a “career path” when some people just want to enjoy the ride?

My new grand plan is to be sexy and enigmatic

The best mum I can

Have enough money to provide for dd. Have no more kids

Have fun, travel and be happy 🙌

I agree. I have no plans except to enjoy my quiet little life. I don't feel the need for career advancement or to get married or to go abroad and 'find myself'.
Some of us are happy just being.....

Interesting as I've been thinking the same. I have a great degree but I'm in a mediocre job which pays me enough money and no stress at all. I could aim for higher but is it worth it. I could do a PhD to progress in my line of work but is it worth the extra stress? Have 2 teenagers and we've had a lot of headache from them recently and I just want to chill when I get the chance. We have a mortgage free house in a nice area and I just want to pursue my hobbies and just generally enjoy my life!

Yup, no grand plans or 'goals' here other than to finally declutter my wardrobe, and to have a lovely garden. I have ideas for things I would like to do in future (mostly travel, and move back to my hometown), but none of those are possible now so not worth thinking about.

I'm quite content at the moment, thank goodness.
