10 years from now, I hope to be living in another country... or in several countries, as a permanent traveler. I want to earn all of the money for my cost-of-living from my web sites and online work, only taking jobs for extra money, and never because I need them.
By this time, I expect to speak 10 languages fluently, in addition to several languages at various levels of non-fluency. I expect to be a published author and photographer, and someone who is well acquainted with the world. I expect to be married and raising one or two children, and that the wife and kids will also be multilingual, and world-aware.
That's quite a lot, but the main thing is that these are not very materialistic goals. I have no idea idea or expectation of being rich or poor, or of having expensive cars or anything else. I'm happy to grow most of my own food, if that's how life turns out, but I'm also happy to eat in restaurants every day. I'm content with owning inexpensive properties in poor countries, but I wouldn't mind having luxurious properties in rich countries, too.
In the end, it's not "things" that make me happy... it's experiences, relationships, and accomplishments.
