      I beat the odds I was given from adrenal cancer: 20% chance of living 5 years. It’s been 7 and I have no recurrence. Live Like You Were Dying is my theme song and I blast it every year on the anniversary of my surgery. I too, started taking every opportunity to travel that I can afford because life can be gone in a minute.

    You know what really makes me happy? Hearing two people who genuinely share a common interest, especially if it's not something most people care about. Their geeking out about it, even when I know little to nothing, gives me joy.

    The "help someone adopt" bucket list item made me cry (in the best way). My husband and I have been married for 10 years and struggled with fertility for 8 years, and will probably ultimately adopt. I think it is incredible that you two have a goal of helping a couple pay for their adoption.

    Re International Adoption: One day, I got a random email with a picture of a girl that had 6-weeks left before she would be too old to be adopted. (She was turning 14.) My husband was walking past me, when he saw the picture and said, "That's our daughter." We had 1-month to find the money to complete her adoption and get to China. A stranger heard about our story and called to ask how much money we needed to raise (I think it was ~$10,000). The woman immediately told me that the check would be in the mail that day. The lives of everyone in our family (and our new daughter!) were forever changed that day.
    Rachel, I look forward to hearing you helping to complete a family!

    I love traveling and have a life goal of visiting every US National Park (there are currently 63).
    Each month, I set aside a fixed amount of money for travel and travel related expenses. What doesn't get used this month will roll over to the next month and so on.
    I micromanage my finances and track the travel funds and expenses in Excel.
    Putting money aside for travel allows me to not feel guilty when spending money on this this.

    I love the goal of helping to fund an adoption! We adopted my oldest son after years of losses and wound up borrowing from our retirement to help cover the costs (totally 40k+). Not the ideal way to go about it, but God opened the door for us to adopt him so quickly that we didn’t have time to save that much. We’ve since paid it back, and I have no regrets because we have our son ❤

    This episode was so fun. I've never thought about having a bucket list before. One thing I would put on it is learning how to dance with my husband, like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire type dancing.
    I would love to see the aurora someday though. A few years ago there was a rare appearance of the aurora in PA where I'm from. My dad and brothers tried to wake my mom up to see it, but she wouldn't wake up. Then they tried to wake up my sister, but she wouldn't get up either. So they didn't bother trying on me. 😭

    I think when I thought of a bucket list, it was different than goals...more things that were more for fun that I hoped I'd get to do like bungee jumping, ziplining, and sky diving. But I guess I did have some other types like seeing Phantom of the Opera in New York or reading the Art of War. Thank you for a different perspective. Goals can be part of a bucket list too!

    In college my husband lived with a bunch of guys and they found some traffic cones, absconded with them and spent the remaining years there blocking traffic in the middle of the night. It was a college town and the house was a couple of blocks from campus, so there was occasional traffic most of every night. College kids sleep like babies...more in nap form than anything else. The house was elevated above the street quite a bit, so we would hide on the porch and watch and laugh.

    If you write down goals for your bucket list, then looking back over life's years, it can be surprisingly gratifying for how many dreams you will reach. It can always be revised as life goes on. I like to assess and re-prioritize either at New Years (make resolutions) or on my birthday after circling the sun another time. Years ago, Zig Ziglar made a great presentation about writing goals down that actually helps make them more possible to achieve. Creating plans with timelines can enable the realizations. Yet sometimes, fate just intervenes to allow something to unexpectedly be achievable as a gift without any intentionally.

    I let some of my bucket list items set my financial goals back on occasion, but I’m still glad I accomplished a few: bicycling across the U.S. (CA to Fl) set me back about $10k…mostly due to taking off work for 2 months as the trip itself cost around $3-4k. I’m bummed about letting my retirement savings goal for that year go to that trip, but the memories are worth it.
    Last year I got a motorcycle, which I could have done smarter: I was on baby step 3, then financed the bike 😬. When I realized I was losing $80 a month to interest, I aggressively paid it off - using my emergency fund down to the $1000 🤦🏻‍♂️. Yet again, this cost me about as much as I wanted to set aside for retirement for that year once I caught back up. Hopefully now that I got those 2 major bucket list items out of the way I will be more disciplined. I’m kicking myself a bit, but I’ve been much happier overall after accomplishing these things. But maybe that’s it for several years until I get back to where I wanted to be financially 😅

    George is big on touting the affordability of the swill they drink. When I was a Realtor some title company in the area would always have free drinks for agents on Thursday nights to hustle their business. I always took full advantage of the bargain drinks. One night on the way home from a drink fest I wrapped my Lincoln around a tree. Bargain drinks are the most dangerous kind. Those drinks suddenly became very expensive!😮

The money that had been used toward completing step 2 is now available for these next steps.
