This year has had so many firsts for me, including quitting a job, following my dreams, vacations and getting married. I will soon be 27 (okay okay in February) and have been doing a lot of thinking about what I want out of life. What do I want to do forever, my career, my passion. I have begun to write everything down that I would love to accomplish before I am 30. Now, I got to looking at my list and realized that there are a lot of large things that cost quite a bit of money to do, so I had to “get real” and say I would like it to be complete by 40! I also think I have a few more than 30, so here it goes!
