1) Do not overextend your finances and get bankrupt like my parents, so much that our phones and car insurance suddenly get cut off.
-Related: Make sure you pay car insurance because you don't want to tell your kids to drive safely, or else their car will get towed if they get pulled over.
2) Agitator academics.
3) Get a nice place of my own that would have/be the following:
- Very energy efficient (http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/0,1518,476279,00.html)
- A room with a space projector that would cast images of the galaxy on the walls.
- My office w an extensive library (think Belle from Beauty & the Beast)
- My partner's studio where he would do his "art", whatever that may be
- Open layout for the kitchen/dining/living areas.
- Surround sound. Everywhere.
- Back patio/deck where we'd have cookouts as much as possible.
- Enough room for impromptu epic dance parties.
- Cats and/or dogs.
4) Go sky-diving at least once.
5) Go zip-lining in a jungle somewhere.
6) Become fluent in Spanish.
7) Get published
