WHAT’S ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

According to a survey from YouGove.com, here are the most common things on Americans’ bucket lists:
(By the way… that hot air balloon crash that happened in Albuquerque over the weekend? One of the victims was a woman who was doing a “bucket list” item.)
– Get healthier/ lose weight – 41%
– Travel to an exotic location – 35%
– Achieve a wealth goal (e.g. pay off a student loan) – 29%
– See a natural wonder – 28%
– Own my own home – 27%
– Change someone’s life for the better – 27%
– Get married – 22%
– Learn a new language – 19%
– Have children – 17%
– Start my own business – 15% (* How about having children to RUN my own business?)
– Meet a particular celebrity – 13%
– Do an extreme sport (e.g. bungee jump/sky dive) – 12%
– Attend a particular music festival – 12%
– Write a novel – 12%
– Complete an act of physical endurance/strength (e.g. complete a marathon, or scale a mountain) – 11%
– Invent something – 10%
– Something else – 5%

* Just curious – how many of you people who want to lose weight are eating something right now?
* Aren’t “something else” and “don’t know” kind of the same thing here?
* Write a novel? Ha! Dream on, sucker. Same with owning a house these days, too.
* “Honey, I want to change your life for the better. Any suggestions?” “Yeah. Leave.”
* “Meet a celebrity” – Many other people have had this happen, but it would be fun to have a Bill Murray experience, where he just pops up in your day and does something wacky, then disappears.
