Live by the seat of my pants and a feather in my cap on occasion.

Nope. Life has a tendency to stomp all over any plans I make.

So true.

Sigh. Yeah.

Hahahaha! I barely have a "make it through the week" plan!

My 5 year plan is to hang on until I can get on Medicare if it is still out there, and then coast until I can retire.

What the hell for?
It has been my experience that life laughs at 5-year plans.
Then, it fucks them.

@Quazi Congratulations. Good luck with all that.
Perhaps, as you get older, you will not have to change your plans and ideals to accommodate reality.

I find life changes too fast for long term plans other than in a broad sense. I focus on building general capabilities: fitness, learn new things, acquire new skills.

A plan with built in flexibility , Excellent !

@Cast1es Think anti-fragile a la Nassim Taleb.

I don't have a five day plan.

3

I have been retired for over 23 year and live one day at a time. I do plan for some travel and camping experiences but rarely more than 1 month in advance.

I'm currently living my last 5 year plan. My new 5 year plan is to own a boat. Best part is that I'll be 41yo in 5 years, so everyone will think it's a midlife crisis.

More like a 21 foot rule...

I wonder how many people will actually understand that reference.

Learn from the past plan for the future but live for today

2

Yeah, not to make any 5 year plans!

2

Yes...in fact, I have a chart where I keep short-term through long-term goals and I update it monthly as things progress to account for variables an unseen changes. Everyone needs a roadmap to follow or they are just wandering aimlessly.

Why you asking?

@Quazi I have to handle to you you just invented the word "procrsatinate". Make sure is added to wikipedia.

@Quazi your post response was Edited. Bottom left corner... so YOU DO KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Ha, ha, he, ha.

Not really a five year plan, but I would like to stay employed until I decide it’s time to retire.

Kind of. Circumstances change, plans change. Some people say, "Live like you'll die tomorrow." That's a crock of shit. But something closer to, "Live like you'll die in 10 years" suits me for the time being.

2

I have a plan, but it's still open to change as well, life is what happens while busy making plans.

2

Mmmhhh..... I'll tell you in 5 years what the plan was....

2

I've had a few of those in my lifetime. They all went to shit.

@Quazi

You really have time for that??

Actually, I have a one-year plan with next April as a rough deadline. In that time I would like to meet goals professional (more income), personal (at least casual dating), and creative (acting & performing on a regular basis). I do intend next spring to assess my progress per these stated goals and formulate subsequent yearly plans, and possibly establish goals to achieve by my next landmark birthday, four-plus years from now. I didn't always make these plans, but this year I believed it necessary to take definitive and quantifiable actions to truly live the life I want.

I don't even have a five day plan

1

I don't even buy green bananas any more.

Hey that's MY line LOL

1

I see people make plans all the time... then shit happens that makes their plans impossible.

My plan
Make sure I have more money coming in than going out.

My life is very simple, uncomplicated and I seldom experience stress. Unlike all those persons who make plans...

1

I don't have a 5 year plan, but I do have a day to day plan.
And that is learn something new every day, and do what I can to help others.
