It's weird but I never think of making 5, 10 20 year plans. But I'm told the most successful people in the world tend to be people who do. And by successful I don't mean money wise in particular.

5 years from now.. hmmm..

Figured out my own health is #1. I've been having some tough times the last few years. Just the other day I realized its been almost 5 years with the same on going issues that have really put a strain on myself, my wife and my family.

I'd like to get in better shape. I've always been a mass monster, but I think once I hit 40 I need to get down to 12% bf and deal with not being a mass monster anymore. All the activites I love get harder as I get older being 280-300lbs. I'm starting to see that I won't be able to keep up with my kids if it continues.

finaically my family is doing very well. Absolutely no worries.... But that being said we are building a new house in a couple years and once that's done I want to re-look at how we handle our investments and savings. I want my kids to be secure when I pass.

As tough as it is to say, my marriage needs work. In 5 years I want to be doing more things with my wife again like we used too. I want to communictate better with her. I want to loose my shit less on her (partially linked to my health struggle from above).

And lastly, I want my kids to be in school doing well, not stuck to a computer screen.
 
In five years time...

I'd like to be in a position to work what I want to work. Right now I'm doing a career I enjoy but am in a position that I have to work - I'd like to be able to pick and choose.

Get into more investing, specifically on the real estate front. I invision in 5 years time owning 3+ income properties along with a growing liquid portfolio.

Keep fit and healthy above any lb+ goals. Look good and feel good. Remain active.

Still happy!
 
I will be 66 and hopefully will still be training with the same intensity I do now, but with fewer overall sets. No doubt lighter as well. My Martial Arts will still be on a path of being more traditional and internal as my body slowly gets nailed with all the injuries I have accumulated over the years. My focus will still be Filipino/JKD but I want to delve more deeply into Okinawan Goju-Ryu. I would like to train with a friend who is a top Goju guy and finally just focus on the Kata and Bunkai. My knees will be ten years old so who knows.
Financially I don't plan too much. I have a small pension and CPP plus a good amount of savings. I am already mortgage free and can relocate to a more affordable town.

Do practice both stick and knife Filipino arts? I always wanted to learn the sticks and have that on my retirement bucket list

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now and how do you plan to get there??

In 2012 I reached bottom. I was 54 years old and had no home, no assets and nothing of any real value other then a used truck. Looked in the mirror and said to myself "self you best get busy" Now 6 years latter I see my hard work paid off. However in 5 years I will be 65. Now at 65 I aim to be fully retired and want to be able to afford to travel and enjoy the last years of my life. I divide my life into sections of 15 years each. At 60 I am now in the 60-75 year old section of my life. I think its the last years I can be healthy enough to enjoy life. Things look good for me. Despite the odd setback I am confident that I can meet my goal and possibly even retire earlier. The only thing keeping me working now is that fact I can work from home. I just cannot see myself giving that up. :)

Good for you. That’s a awesome story how you got yourself out of that situation. 100% respect.

I went through something similar. A few years back I was dating a woman (she devil), whom I thought was the one. We moved from Toronto to Vancouver with my 1 year old at the time. Things were looking up Inhad a great job a new family in a new city, I save my whole life to buy a house and was excited on doing that with her and my new lil girl. Needless to say life is kinda funny. So one day I got laid off and was a little set back... (but hey I’ll be ok, I have savings right!?!) I get home and my ex is gone and daughter is gone and my money is gone. (I trusted her to have a joint account) my world went crashing. I lost my place and ended up living in my truck for a couple of months while trying to find her and my daughter and get a new job.
One day I replied to a ad for a painter. So I responded and the person who hired me helped me get back on track, get a place and do what I needed to to help myself.

Now 8 years later, a new wife and a place to call home I’m forever great full for this man.

I have recently connected with my daughter and have started court proceedings in order to try and get some kind of arrangement for her so she ever disappears again.

My future plans are to maintain my role in her life and build a great future with my wife and my girls. To forget what has happened and move forward.

I’m sorry for the rant. It’s still a little fresh. Thanks for reading.

Honestly brother .... I'm not sure what I'd do if someone took my little girl away from me. Everything else you went through seems like a grain of sand compared to having your girl taken away. I hope you guys can have a life together again!
