hmmm lets see

-NOT buy any more cars (i know, this is a hard one)  
-learn how to manage money better (working on that already)  
-pay off whats left of my credit card debt (almost done)  
-get my NYS Paramedic certification  
-MOVE THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE  
-I’d like to say “buy a house” but id honestly be content with a nice apartment for the time being while i save money so i can put a large down payment on a nicer home when the time comes (see first item on list)

and because this is a car forum, as far as my 5 year plan for the Mustang goes:  
-GET IT PAINTED  
-do the LX swap  
-finish up the interior  
-get Chrome Pony rims  
-supercharge  
-5 speed swap  
-enjoy it and be able to die a happy man haha

I’d like to own an NSX before the next 5 years are up. Would also prefer to make a nice dent in paying my house off by then.

I had some things put into perspective tonight and I realize that I suck at life. I really don’t have a plan, I’m not very smart and and almost everyone treats me like shit, so in turn they get the same back. Not a good recipe for success. I guess I’m jsut a loser.

Next year it’s buy a house, start on my third degree, continue advancing at my new employer, and more freelance work. Year after that will be ring-on-the-finger time, pay down other debts, and continue work on the '68 fastback. after that, who knows, would like to start another investment eventually, but I’ve got other shit to do first.

Immediate - Buy a condo, sell my cars

Longer - Move to europe or asia for a year

Really Long - have a huge smile on my face doing whatever I’m doing.

PS. I doubt anyone on here besides AWDrifter or Butch is/are going to retire in 5 years.

Last 5:  
married  
finished University with Honours  
started a profitable business  
Got a good job  
travelled (europe, cali, nyspeed cruises)

Next year  
Bought house - move in a couple weeks  
Made a baby, due in January  
Finish CMA designation in June

Next 5:  
Be an executive with 6-figure salary  
take 1, 2 or 3 current or budding ventures into legit businesses on the side  
MBA, C.DIR, or LL.B started, maybe completed depending on which i choose  
Visit Dubai  
own a supercar (porsche, lotus, nothing too too crazy)  
upgrade into another home without selling the current one  
purchase commerical property

If my uncle doesnt sell his company i will be taking it over within 5 years… that would basically make a couple of the plans come true.

Well seeing as i move in a week i have to start kinda fresh.

My main goal is to go back to school and get my degree at a university instead of a community college.

Find a decent job that will work around my school schedule.

and if i am making decent money, pay off the car and mod it some more.

oompf

hmm 5 years. i like to take life as it comes.

well i guess pay my car off, keep advancing at current job(s), hopefully go back to school and get that stupid degree. Biggest goal for the end of the next 5 years is selling the house i just moved into and buy one a tad bigger, or keep it and rent it out.
