A very U.K.-ish list. Travel to Lapland?
Posted by: Joe R. | February 12, 2013 at 06:56 AM
Truly, I don't have a list, and I didn't see a single thing there that I want to do very badly. [I have a mortgage, but it's just one more tool in my financial tool box and I find it useful.]
I suppose I would just list "see my grandchildren be contented, useful adults."
I'm lucky, I guess. Either I don't want much or what I have is enough.

Most of these are fun, but I'm puzzled by no.1 and no.5, millionnaire and mortgage-free.
Your financial situation can help or hinder achievement goals, but they are not goals per se...
