MemberThis is where I’m at but SO might not agree.
Year 1: graduate, move overseas, find job, get engaged; SO has already found new job (promotion too) and moved
Year 2: marriage (in the UK, might be a logistical nightmare)
Year 3-4: save (for place in UK to live in or rent), enjoy married life
Year 5: move back to UK: new home, new job, etc; TTC/have baby
We might TTC and have a baby before moving back to the UK. Depends on how work is going for the both of us. We want our child to have UK qualifications but thats age 14+, so we could stay overseas longer. We’ve only talked about staying 5-7 years or so.
MemberYou ladies kick a$$ with your great plans – so impressive!
My 5 year plan is
Year 1 (now!) – Get married, enjoy being newly weds, save money and TTC.
Year 2 – Have baby (fingers crossed!) Prepare for cross country move
Year 3 – Settle into new home and jobs, work on book and start Masters
Year 4 – TTC baby 2, book & masters, buy a house
Year 5 – Finish book & masters & baby 2!
MemberBuy a starter house, continue working, have a child, and hope both future hubs and I have our sanity intact once he completes med school and enters residency.
MemberWow, I’m jealous of all your guys’ great plans! Friends of FI’s that we visited back in January who are having a baby in April said it was part of their 5 year plan and asked us what our was. I hadn’t thought one bit about it. And now there’s this thread and I think I should. Fiance isn’t a planner really so he could be hard to get on board with it.
Soo, I’ll make up my own 5 year plan until I can talk to Fiance about it (he’s away with work now). Starting after the wedding:
Year one: Finish school (hairstyling, I’ll be done July 2013), do renos on the house.
Year two: Get experience as a hairstylist, probably still be doing renos.
Year three: Move back to Newfoundland and start a family there. This will be hard to convince Fiance of, but I miss home!
Year four: Work as a hairstylist in St. John’s.
Year five: Start hairstyling business.
MemberThis is extremely tentative… But here goes
MemberDebt. Then we each want to sell our homes, finally pool our resources, and buy ONE house with a little bit of land with some sort of water feature (we live near a couple of creeks, rivers, lakes, and canal and love to canoe).
We’re already making good progress with the debt, and started working with a financial advisor to help us with investments and our long term planning. We don’t have kids now, don’t want kids in the future, and have a lot of bucket-list type items we want to do!
MemberI have a year and a half until I transfer from JC to Uni, 2 years of Uni then applying to grad school in Europe, moving to Europe in 2015. Would like to be engaged before moving to Europe (we’ll be 5 years into our relationship by then). A year- two years of grad school and it’s 2017. Haha. Not much in the terms of major plans. Once I’m done with grad school we’ll hopefully both have careers and be able to buy a house on property in Europe get a bunch of animals, and have weekends to explore our new continent. I plan on being debt-free through the rest of my schooling, I have some in savings designated for when I transfer to Uni since JC courses are only about $40 a unit here (I know they’re a lot higher in other states, which is odd to me since CA has a higher cost of living than most other states but I’m not complaining).

MemberBy God’s grace we will be in our new house in a few months!! Yayyy! So after the wedding….
Year 1: Pay off ALL DEBT, be debt free except for maybe cars, house, and student loans
Year 2: Try to have a baby…and save like maniacs
Year 3: Become parents!
Year 4: Go on a large vacation like Fiji or Seychelles
Year 5: Maybe I’ll get to pursue starting my own business (I really want to own a bridal salon) And have another baby 🙂
