If you can foresee your future, which stage of your life do you want to foresee? / myLot

Let's say you are given the power to foresee ONE stage of your future, which one would you choose? The reason why I say One stage is because I think it would be disastrous if all of us know everything about our future. I think it's alright to know just a little about our future.

For me, since I am in my mid twenties now, I would like to know what I will be like when I am in my mid-thirties. I hope that what I see will be what I have envisioned myself to be. If not, I'll work harder so that my future will be what I want it to be. I personally believe our future is basically in our own hands. Even if we can foresee our future, I believe there are things which can be changed.

This is a very difficult one to answer. Only one stage of our future. Hmm... if I really have to make a choice of only one stage. I guess, that would be at my retirement age. It would be good to see and know if I can retire comfortably or not. Then if I can, a glimpse of my "past" in the photo via photos, people I know, things I own... etc etc. Heh heh heh... sorta like a two birds with one stone thingy.

Yea. That would be interesting to see. I really wonder if we can retire comfortably. Inflation is killing us. =x

ha ha ha ha ha... that is so so true. And if you can see your future, you will know that you are still able to make the necessary changes to ensure the lousy version of the future will not come true!

I would love to see where I am financially in ten years. My husband and I are working seven days a week right now to try to pay the bills and get some of our debts paid off so he can retire by then. It is going to be a long haul and a big struggle to make it happen and if something goes wrong in between time, I don't know what we will do. We will just have to wait and see how it goes. Wish us luck.

I am 51 years old and I would like to see where I would be at 65 years old. If I was able to retire and if I would have a comfortable income coming in. Or if I don't have enough money coming in and I still have to work. It is always a worry for me now, because I am starting my life over and starting with nothing, financially. So will I be able to make enough money to retire by the time I am 65. That is the only part of my future I would like to know so I can work on it.

I do hope you can retire very comfortably by 65 or even before 65.
