How do you see your future?
I'm wondering, what are most doing right now to get through the day/month etc and what do they want to do in the future. ( or for the older, eh i mean more experienced people in here, did you reach what you always wanted ?)

The most important thing for me was a good family.
I have a wife that I adore and two great kids.
So, I'd have to say I'm doing all right.

I always hoped that I would do well. I guess we'd all like to be rich. Some of us are and some of us aren't. But, I always thought that I should never allow myself to be preoccupied with it. I just need enough for my family and me to get by and do the things we'd like to do.
I work for myself and make my own hours. I have been fortunate enough to be around for most of the time that my daughter has been growing up. Her father doesn't have a 9-5 job that keeps him out of her life from 8-6 every day. I love that... more than money.

Involved in a few projects that seem to fill about half of my time. - Projects are private and business property based, basically, a landlord.
The other half, I have dedicated to enjoying myself, going out and partying, going to the gym, playing the drums, helping out my family and basically, as much me time as possible.
Currently trying to sort out work projects so that they only fill up about 1/4 of my time and should be there soon
Money is not the major factor here but enjoying ones life is

I'm currently designing a new website and looking for a serious job while trying to learn to use the mouse with my other hand.
I want to be the leader of a vast galactic empire. I see despair enveloping my world in the future.

Now:
Shaking my head slowly to myself, trying to deal with emails, queries, and people who have opinions about what I'm advising when they should just get on with doing the damn things and stop coming back to me with comments like: "the indexing process doesn't reinforce ranking based on length of time with same name and URL" (duh, yes it does, why are you emailing me with lies?), and trying to get back to the process of actually doing some goddamn work.
The future:
More of the same, I expect.

I am working long hours to try to build up something that will eventually allow me the freedom to enjoy life, instead of spending it working all the time. Other than that.... well, there are things that I want, but we'll see if I actually get them.
