Default 30 things I must do before I hit 30

Just before my 21st birthday I made up a list of “30 things I must do before I hit 30”. A couple of months ago I remembered this list and dragged it out and have decided to have a bloody good bash at achieving the 30 things on the list which means that I will have an extraordinarily memorable next 10.5 months to look forward to.

Being a naïve young thang at the time I created the list there are a few items that need to be replaced as I will not be doing them (i.e. I am not getting married or having children in the next few months). So I have been trying to think of replacement ideas…

I am after suggestions - What do you kids reckon are Must Do’s before you hit 30?

Cheers, Tori

Well its a bit embarrasing to post the entire list - I did write it just before my 21st after all but mostly things like this -

16. Sunbake topless on a tropical island.
17. Stop biting my nails.
18. Scuba Dive on the Great Barrier Reef.
19. Watch the sunrise on the beach and watch it set over another.
20. Jump out of a plane – Sky Dive.

How about making your 1st million for starters (If you haven't already). But, as a suggestion, why don't you post of pic of yourself seeing as you are just a youngen' of 29 and let the virile youg men on this forum make a few suggestions. For me, at 47, my wife wouldn't let me do half the things I could suggest.

Ummm... lemme think, I didn't have a list. Perhaps I should make one titled "40 things to do before I'm 40"?!?!

It depends on how kinky you want to get... my ideas always somehow lead to sex. _ :yeees:

Here's One you may allready have one your list ?

Do something to improve another person / s life by helping them in whatever way is needed, and with no benifit to yourself except quietly knowing you have in some way helped a stranger move forward.

When you do this they will often ask how they can repay you, answer. Just tell them to help out some one in the same way you did, when they are ready.

cheers

good advice . i remember buying a homeless man that lived on a corner near work a loaf of bread a carton of milk and a box of chocolates for easter one day (spontaniously ) these things you never forget. try it . but then again i did forget it until DOC wrote his thread.

Funny I can from it from the opposite angle. I pretended that I was 80 years old (now, not in the future) and wrote a list of the things I regretted NOT doing. I now use that list to remind myself to do all of those things that I still can, which are truly important to me.

As for cars for example, two of the items on my list was to own a high powered sports car and the other a new GT. Since I made the list a few years ago I've owned both so it appears to be working! Now for the supercharged car !!:dr_Evil:

My suggestions for you:
For your soul: Identify the people you care about the most in this world and tell them (boring I know..lol)

For your indulgence: Drive a manual V8 hard around a race track!! Or take a ride with SBR.

To build character: Do one thing that completely takes you out of your comfort zone

I turn 30 on Sunday, and the only thing I want to do is not cry because I am getting old and gravity is hitting.

I would agree with Doc and think of things that will give you intrinsic rewards. Materialistic things are great, but it doesn't matter how much you have, if you don't feel good on the inside, then there's no point in having them.

Help someone out, sponsor a child, adopt an orangutan, donate as much to your favourite charity, or if your not in the position financially, donate some of your time to their fundraising.

This works out really well, you can do most of that in one day.

- Book a resort on a tropical island and turn up friday afternoon, watch the sunset on one of the western side of the beach.
- Wake up before dawn on saturday and head to an eastern beach on the island, watch it rise.
- Stay there for a few hours and get that topless tropical island thing sorted. - Meet up with a reef cruise mid morning and go scuba diving (they will teach you how).
- Stop biting nails because its very hard to do through a wetsuit and if you do succeed, is going to taste like salt and 50 million years of fish poo.
- Book a Sky Diving adventure for sunday and get that sorted.
- Return to work monday.

Eaaaaaaaaaaasy.

add on 10 more things to your current list, change 30 to 40 then do all the things on the list, you now have another 10 years to complete your list.

then when your nearly 40 add on another 10 things so you will have 50 things to do befroe your 50 and so on and so on.

i set a target of seeing 30 countries by the time I was 30.
well, turned 30 and had seen 84!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as for having a million $$ by thirty... i look at it differently,,,, i have a million $$ worth of memories... we're all in the ground with pocketless shirts at the end of the day!

so i'd say, travel, you'll get to do alot of things on a working holiday too so think about that?
