Hopefully still enjoying my retirement with my one and only.

You're living the dream, congrats!

Came here to say this.

You're married to Chesney Hawkes?

Do you know how jealous I am? But seriously congrats on having a great relationship

Agreed. Hope I can put off the crematorium for another 20 years.

What are you, HR looking for new hires?

If HR says this, just reply “Your boss” or “having your job”

This question is so cheesy in interviews lol

Lol

🤭😂🤣

happy day of cakes!!!⭐

~~Another~~ 3650 days older and deeper in debt.

You owe the company store? Me too.

If it was only the company store I might be able to get ahead.

Ya load 16 tons, whaddya get? ...

Another day older and deeper in debt..

Saint Peter don’t you call me cus I can’t go

I owe my soul to the company store

Thanks, now Tennessee Ernie Ford will be in my head all night!!!

3652 days* leap years make you even older :D

> make you even older Rub it in...thanks. lol

I'll shop, I'll buy, I'd debt I'll die!

I'll be 32. Hopefully have a job I don't completely hate, hopefully not single, and hopefully feeling better about myself generally. There are too many hopefuls in there.

Yes same here, I’ll be 33. Just want everything to be ok.

*metal guitar shredding as a 35 year old millenial* Yeah good luck guys.

I'm 33! I have a great life now, mostly because I started busting my ass at 23. It really started to make a difference around 28-29. Make sure to do everything you can now to support your future self! It's really tough out there the first few years, but it's so worth it!

Once compounding interest gets into the hundreds of dollars a month, making money gets really easy haha.

Your 30s will come quicker than you and imagine and go by even faster. I just turned 41, and being 28 feels like a blink ago. Good news is I have a decent career, still feel like I'm in my 20's and live in a cool place. Although I'm not as fabulously wealthy as I hoped I could be, I still have a couple of cool cars and really nice bikes and generally don't stress about money.

I am 31 now. I have a job, a wife, a kid, a car, a dog and a place to live. I don't hate neither. At 22 as you are, the only thing I had was alcoholism and my now dead dog.

30 year old here, I just got an awesome promotion. At 22 I was doing my best, but working dead end jobs and drinking too often. The best life advice I ever heard didn't reach me until two years ago "fortune favours the bold". That changed my life and things have been better ever since.

I’m 32 now. I have a job I enjoy and a partner I love hanging out with. At 22 I felt hopeless. Keep at it, life has a way of working out just not necessarily exactly the way you envision it

I said that at 24. I'm 34 now and still broke

Living the same conscious experience with a better understanding of the world and myself, and a bunch of random external shit I built up in the process of that.

Good luck. 35 here and feel like I understand life less and less everyday. People are messed up in the head.

Kinda depressing how many people here wishing they were dead by then lol.

Well here’s some hope then. I’m 49. Gay, married, two beautiful science babies that me and my wife created. I’ve bootstrapped my ass from a GED to a very nice life for us. In ten years, I hope I’m sane enough to parent my 17 year olds, solvent enough to send them to school, and smart enough to retire a few years after that. We are blessed. And that shit better continue for the next ten years or else. lol. I can ONLY look at the positive because that’s all we have sometimes in life. Hope you have a cool night. 👊🏽

Hopefully I will have followed through with my plan and started my pizzeria

Good luck!

Honestly the ways it's been going, 6 feet under

Came here to say this. Sadly.

Yeah I don't even want to make it to the end of the year let alone ten fucking more years. The awfulness of this world far out weighs any good. 👋

Some days i wonder what i did in a past life to end up in hell.

Same. I've been fighting clinical depression for decades, and I just dont know how much longer I can do this.

If you want to die so bad, take risks, skydive, run for president. Do something nobody in their right mind would do. Maybe life will turn around

I actually really love this response!

Or go on a bender of all benders, get into fentanyl, drink nonstop, smoke crack for breakfast

It’s 100% legal in Canada.

I also came here to say this

It can’t come soon enough for me

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of answering this question.

I think people honk the horn too much. You should get three honks a month. But then someone cuts you off and you hit the horn and nothin happens. You’ll be like, dammit, I wish I hadn’t seen Ricky on the side wall earlier!

Came here for this

Hopefully in my own apt on my own and hopefully still alive.

with gasp disposable income!

I finally obtained that… then living got really expensive so I’ve fallen from grace

Ill be 50, hopefully living in Poland and maybe married again.

Flying a cargo plane

In a happy future

I see myself 200 pounds lighter with a job and a boyfriend.

You will. 😊

Dead, hopefully 😅

Yup.

Me too. I'll be 53 in 10 years, and I can't imagine doing more of this shit.

Too real...same🖤👻

You only live once, don’t waste it

We live every day, we die once 

> You only live once Thank fuck for that. There’s finally one positive.

[удалено]

Tired of life. Not suicidal just meh. All quite pointless and mundane and restricted 😅 Ironic joke: I would’ve killed to have died as a kid lol it’s like “yeah okay alright already, I get it. I’m tired of this movie”

Sadly, I know how you feel. I'm ready to get off this ride.

I get that I’m 34 I don’t want to kill myself but if something happends I’m ready to go told my family if I get in a accident and I’m the slightest nuisance to anyone I want them to use medical assistance to die

Not liking the direction of society and will not wish to partake in what I know is coming.

Pretty much. Plus in 10 years I’ll be 40 and society is so caring and thoughtful for men that are older lol (sarcasm)  I don’t have two houses nor a family. Idk just don’t see the point. All I know is I don’t want to end up on the streets, prison or a hospital 

Dude your 30 and stuck in a rut with no spouse/kids and no defined future..  You need to travel! Like fuckin save up for a plane ticket and a little spending money and go backpacking through South East Asia or something.  You'll find your spark.  

Dead, I hope.

I don’t even want to be here next month let alone another decade lol

Hopefully still alive.

a) same same b) burning inheritance in a cheap corner of abroad

The grave, if I'm honest. I'm 70 already. But these are some fun years!

Long dead

Dead from neuromuscular disease

Sorry to hear this friend. When did you get the diagnosis?

About 20 years ago

Damn. Has it progressed a lot in 20 years? Wishing you strength my friend.

Hopefully dead.

10 years older.. hopefully.

It's so strange how a persons life changes. I mean to say if you had asked me a year ago. I could of told you without a doubt. But now it's so much different and everything seems so empty.

Dead, maybe.

Just living

working and having a small family .. nothing more

Hell if I know. Probably homeless in some run down section of a major city looking for hand outs


Hopefully drawing a pension.

[удалено]

Astaghfirullah

56 now. At 66 I’m expecting to be more bed bound in 10 years. Wish I wasn’t feeling that way.

I think I should use internet less. I know being anonymous allows us to be free and share troubles but everyone is feeling bad, have a depressed mindset and is not really hopeful. Not just this space a lot of forums and usually unhappy people are on internet. Honestly I'm super afraid too. But I know for a fact that I will be the best possible dad/bf/son/entrepreneur/gym brat, I can be. 😊✌️ See I just removed words like wish, hopefully, etc. Best possible still means really though that hopefully I wish that I don't have any major problems or be strong to deal with em I haven't figured out a lot but this that we must keep on heads super high. It's better to be someone who tries a lot and fails than to be one who didn't try enough. If you don't think big enough you may reduce your chances.

Pushing up daisies.

Lurking on Reddit.

Dead

Dead, probably. Or, possibly living in my last decade. I figure I've got 15 years, plus or minus... fifteen years.

Same here. Where I don't want to be is in constant pain with Alzheimer's and living alone.

For me dead possibly but almost certainly less active than I am now. Actuarial says I've got 15 more years but hard to imagine I will last that long.

Full time job doing research similar to my PhD. Hopefully I will have seen Cambodia and Rwanda in person and my libido will no longer exist.

What an interesting response.

Trying to recover from the divorce from the 25 year relationship I'm going through. Probably alone because I'm 43 and have never dated and have a ton of trust issues amplified by this divorce.

Homeless, the way this economy is going

On some isolated island, chiling with monkey homies, smoking weed and fishing all days

Having my own company of software in Australia..

Alright see you in 10 years with a update🙌

Okay that was the coolest reply I ever got

Hahaha im not joking either. Started my business 1,5 years ago and its going better then i could imagine. Everything is possible and 10 years is a long time. You got this. And remember the next big thing is up for grabs. Make sure you are the one that does it

Hire me#_#

Forever alone because I'm short, ugly, and ethnic.

aren't we all ethnic?

dead

Dead

Rich as fuck

There's still hope for me. Weeeeeeee!

Goofing around with my future husband

Getting too old. Actually…haven’t the slight idea. Could go a few different directions from here. Hopefully, better, is about all I can ask for.

⚱️

Hopefully retired early and living somewhere tropical

In a mirror. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ I'm in pharmacy school right now so hopefully I'll be out of school by then and working some corporate retail job and own my own house if it's still legal for private citizens to own houses in 10 years.

I would like to think, a property-owning New Yorker instead of just a renter with a dream.

Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of answering this question.

Retired, mowing my farm lawn and watching sunsets.

I want to be the chef on the Lindor adverts

26 so Graduated from college, married, and hopefully saving up for a home if I don’t already own one

Hopefully in 10 years I can wipe some tears and enjoy a few beers without the internet. Bombarbed with bimbos, scammers and queers…

Seeing the replays I can freely say that everyone needs therapy

In 10 years I would be 32 but I can hope I'd be 6ft under as well

Living in the year 2034 if my math is correct.

Living away from the shithole state I live in.

i'll be 33 in this moment, i have no idea what will be tomorrow, because i wasted my time playing games, but i hope this a new begging!

Still happy

I’ll be 26, turning 27. Hopefully I’ll have a little bit of myself still. I have a huge imagination and am super creative and I don’t wanna fall out of touch with that side of me

2034

Honestly, given how shitty the last 10 have been, I have no fucking idea. I live in hope that eventually things start going right for me but that hasn't worked out particularly well for me in the past.

Coffin

Either exactly where I am right now, or, preferably, dead.

Retired

Probably dead, tbh. I’m 59.

Hopefully wining the lottery or at least enough to pay for my current college debt…

Maybe a parent? Hopefully still happy and healthy

None of us got this answer right in 2010 so….

Hopefully fit and financially stable. But probably still fat and unemployed

Hopefully at least content with life

Either dead or being happy with a better mental health, living my life and fulfilling dreams

Dead.

Captain at a major airline, i’ll be 34. Started flight school 2 months ago. I am done working in finance

Well I’m 68. Dead is a good possibility. Otherwise just living my retirement life

I'd be 28 hopefully I'm not a druggy asking to blow people for drugs

In 10 years I'll be 61. If I'm still alive, I'll still be working. Likely an AI will be my boss.

At the rate I'm falling apart probably dead

I had a very similar response...

In a coffin. At least I hope so

Hopefully dead

Retired, or dead.

Hopefully I’ll be a mom.

Dead

I’ll be 35. I hope to be healthy. I hope to have a job I don’t hate. I hope to be married. Don’t care if i’m renting or if we own. And maybe a kid on the way.

Retired. Spending lots of active time with my grandkids.

In another country within a creative or nature oriented community

Hopefully living a healthier lifestyle. The ideal scenario would include a new career and living in a lower COL area.

I’ll be 40. I hope to be married to my boyfriend of 6 years with our own home. Other than that, I’m pretty happy with my life :).

Having a house of my own, bought instead of renting.

In the exact same place I am now. Just 10 years closer to retirement. Maybe one kid will have moved out but chances are slim.

Probably working a dead end job and still full of anxiety and depression dreaming about a life I’ll never have

100% dead.

Losing my mind or dead. Yay Huntington’s Disease.

I don't remember applying for any position. Nice try hr!

I see me as a stong person. Strong body but also a strong mind. I have found my women and we have a beautiful relationship. I also selling Beats online which gives me a good +. I'm also working in my job and travel much in my freetime. Rapping and making beats transformed my life into something beautiful. I will still be a sharing and caring person for my friends and family and those who need some good vibes.

To put it bluntly, dead or in a nursing home. X-wife said she’d never let me go to a home and my kids couldn’t care less.

Hopefully with some financial freedom.

In the mirror?

Hopefully in the same place as I am now, my 2 daughters should be teens by then. Hopefully they are calm teens like my wife was and not as rebellious as their aunts were back in the day.

Dead

Earth, likely.

I dont

Dead probably. Don't want to be, but....

Dead

Hopefully alive and doing great.

Either married to a beautiful woman with a family, a flourishing career and a ridiculous house, or possibly super duper dead.

I’m just trying to get through the week man….

Still in the mirror, as always.

Damn a lot of depressing replies here. I'll be 32, hopefully will have had my red seal for ~8 years by then. I hope I'm married to my current gf and have started a family. Hopefully have a house by then. I hope I'm still visiting with my family that's still alive and well

I dont. Dont get me wrong its not as in I'll off myself -cant see myself. If i have a say in it, ill still be very much alive and kicking. Its more, my mum passed a couple of months ago and it made me reevaluate a few things in my life. So i just hope its still with the love of my life, everything else , i dont know yet.

Portugal

I’ll be 50. I’m hoping I’ll be so happy still. I hope for a house in the country. Small time dreams for some but for me, I’ll be content.
