Ok, this is slightly related to the "Its the Time Of Year Again" thread, but I want to know what your Long Term Goals are. Not just 2006, but 2007 and beyond also. Where do you want to be in five or more years time?

For me really starts with next year...Although its going to be like a vactation, I have always wanted to see America (New York primarily) so thats gonna be like achieving a goal next year. Secondly, I want to see where I am this time next year in my job...promotion perhaps? If not, then I will probably move on and look for something else. I am happy, but the distance is a little too much and id prefer something slightly closer.

Next on my list will be to get my eyes sorted. I'm really against the idea of having to wear glasses or contact lenses. I am already looking into the possibility of Laser Eye Surgery, even despite of its cost, its something I have to do, If I want to see like a 'normal' person again. Im sick of squinting hehe! Once that is sorted, I definately want to be able to drive, so lessons is another major goal of mine.

The only other thing I can realistically think of right now, is to have moved out and into a house on my own. For this I need to be on a higher wage than I am on now, and preferably with a significant other so we can share mortage costs. Morgage costs for one person is just rediculous, so having a wife and kids is also something that would aim for in the not too distant future.

What are yours?
