Sometimes it is nice to spend some time thinking about the future. Of course, there are some practical things we can do when it comes to future plans. We can think about retirement, perhaps the lifestyle we will want to lead when a career is finished and any children have all grown up. Maybe your future planning is a little more closer in terms of timescale. Perhaps adding to your family, moving home, or getting married. It can be easy to forward think for these practical things, but not many of us allow ourselves to think about other aspects of our future, the more fun factors like travel. A bucket list has become somewhat of a conversation starter for many these days, and many people might have a mental list of places they want to go or things they want to see. But do they actually really make it part of the future plan? Often people might be talking to you and you mention travel plans or things you may have seen and the response might be, “that is on my bucket list,” but is it really?
