GTKY Five year plan

lynds002 · December 2014

Where do you see yourself in five years?

lynds002 · December 2014

I want to move to a bigger house in a better school district. Ideally somewhere with two bathrooms and central air. I'd like another kid too. Maybe a couple good night's sleeps?

Joycomesinthemorning · December 2014

Move back east, finish my time in the military and be a SAHM. Hopefully another kid or even two!

kaitm22 · December 2014

Same house, 1 more kiddo, hopefully renovated kitchen, and possibly/hopefully SAHM. We are quite content but for those few things and I would love to stay at home but idk if it will be feasible.

caybeh · December 2014

Hopefully another kid, maybe a different house. Argh...DS would be in 2nd grade by then and DD possibly in K. Sad. I don't want to think about 5 years from now.....

NLewis1 · December 2014

Same house, though hopefully a new kitchen and master bedroom. One more baby. We are pretty content:)

IceHide61313 · December 2014

Hopefully in a different state or at least in a different house. Have my associates in HIT/coding and maybe get a job. Another healthy babe and maybe another on the way. Win the lottery. You know, all the normal stuff.

cdseno · December 2014

New house in a new town right across the street from my parents and further away from the ILs, new job, H gets to be a half SAHD while I bring home the bacon. No more kids for us unless we feel called to adopt an older child.

tinkerbell019 · December 2014

We will likely be moving next year (same town). Hopefully finished with post-grad school within the next couple years (for good!...maybe!) DSS will be moving in with us this summer, possibly one more LO in a year or two, although, three is feeling good right now.

jendem8 · December 2014

New house, also in a better school district closer to where both DH and I work. I'd like to have another kid at that point and another dog. I'll still be teaching/choreographing at the same district, but hopefully DH will have a better job (not that his current one is bad).

kat5040 · December 2014

Probably in the same house with another LO and maybe working on number 3. Working from home as a medical transcriptionist (I'm taking the course right now).

courtniko · December 2014

Same house, same job, another kid, maybe 2.

debset396 · December 2014

We plan to be in a new state with DH attending medical school. Hopefully we'll have another LO (or two).

JadaBlue · December 2014

No telling--we're contemplating making career changes but we're not sure in what direction. In that case we would be back in the U.S., but if we stick with our current jobs we'll be in some other random country, possibly with a second LO.

KathleenBean84 · December 2014

Back on the East Coast with kiddo #2 in a house that we own. I'm so done with renting!

I'm not sure about working at that point - maybe part-time? I'll definitely be involved in local politics, which is where most of my friends and professional contacts are.

poofwok · December 2014

Sell the condo and buy a house.
Have another kid.

I believe that's it.

summerfunxo · December 2014

two more babies and a paid off mortgage

becominggold · December 2014

One more LO. Back to teaching full time, both kids attending preschool at the school I teach at. That's pretty much it, unless I find the motivation to finish my masters.

This...only add finishing the basement too.

Laur110 · December 2014

- Sell our condo. Buy a house. If we find the right place this could happen sooner rather than later.

- Adding to our family: Adopted child, another dog....perhaps another biological child?!?

Hoping we are all happy & healthy!

reb84 · December 2014

DH is military and we have another 3 years here (FL) so IDK where we'll be in 5. No more LOs in the plans. Hopefully sell the house we own in IL (not currently living in IL). So I guess I would like to be closer to my family and closer to DH retirement (then we can choose where we want to live).

haliebabyx3 · December 2014

-One more baby at like the 4 year mark, at least that's whats planned for now.

-Either going back to school or at a different job.

-Out of our tiny 2 bedroom, 1 bath house and in a bigger one.

kareik01 · December 2014

Well DH and I officially move 1 month from tomorrow into a house where we plan to run our new business out of. So considering we are uprooting our lives and making some very big changes in regards to our financial well-being...we better be making some money off the new business!

At the very least we better still be IN business.... :-SS

ETA and baby #2

RedBean84 · December 2014

Move to our "forever" home--at least forever while the kids are at home.

Have another kid, possible pregnant with a third.

Hopefully still staying at home with the babies.

jaimee2003 · December 2014

We will have won the lottery, quit our jobs, and be travelling the world with our two LO's.

JUST IN CASE we don't win the lottery....

Thinking about the future is such a different feeling now that we have a babe. 5 years from now may be about when we are ready to move outside of the city...maybe up state a bit, or Long Island, where we have several friends with kids as well. If things go according to our loose plan, LO will be 5 and LO#2 will be 2. That sounds slightly terrifying.

I would love it if my mom would move out here in the next 5 years.

And maybe I will be in a new career. But what that might be I don't know. I used to be the Talent Relations Coordinator for the Tribeca Film Festival and I would love to get back into something like that, but those positions do not pay near enough what we need, demand a heck of a lot more time and attention, and are much less stable than my current executive assistant position.

MereDe3 · December 2014

One more kid, HUGE addition to our tiny house, promotion to the next step up the career ladder. :-)

shevaCC · December 2014

I hope to have 1-2 more kids and be working part time from home in 5 years. Or at least working closer to home. We want to redo our backyard to be kid-friendly but other than that hopefully stay put.

herecomesthesun · December 2014

H promoted or has figured out what to do for his own business
I hope 2 more kids... At least one
Maybe in a slightly bigger house
Hopefully SAHM/ working for H if he has his own business

RoccoBabyK · December 2014

-H graduating from nursing school next May (2016)
- finding a job at a zoo or something related
- moving wherever said job is
- buying a house
- another kid (after I find a job)

SteffieR13 · December 2014

Same house, maybe a few renovations. Not sure we will try for another baby. As of right now, I am very content with DS and my step-daughter, and love their age difference (7.5 years). It is scary to think that in 5 years, SD will be almost 13.

Hopefully within the next 5 years, DH will be on a different shift at work, or have a new job. Currently he works early afternoon into the late evening/early morning...which is tough because he doesn't get to spend time with the kids during the week. I hope to be able to continue being a SAHM.

PecanSam · December 2014

We need to build a bigger home. DH works from home and it's difficult for him in this house, with 2 large dogs, and two kids. We need a basement with a home office. We live in the best school district already, have a great yard, some great neighbors, we hate to move, but we are splitting at the seams with this house. We don't have a guest room anymore since we had this kid.

We found out I can't have any more kids, after this last birth:(, so two kids is all we will have. We have two large dogs but they are already 5, so we might have a different dog in 5 years. I'll continue to be a SAHM. DH does well being self-employed.

I can't think of any other changes.
