Implementing the bucket list in retirement

Do you have a bucket list? Some of you might be wondering: What is a bucket list? A bucket list is a list of things you absolutely want to experience or achieve in life before you kick the bucket. It contains personal dreams and adventures, such as traveling, learning new skills, or overcoming special challenges. In short: a to-do list for your life goals! Now is the time to tackle them and check them off! Visit exotic places you’ve only seen on TV. Why not take a cruise around the world? Perhaps you’ve wanted to run a marathon or finally climb the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the nightlife of Paris? Why not! With good advance planning, a lot is possible. Even if you’re sore the next day—is that life, or even experience? The world is your playground, but you don’t have all the time in the world. Imagine yourself one day saying, “Oh, the beach on Bora Bora?” Yes, I’ve dipped my toes in there before. It was so beautifully white, with lots of palm trees and coconuts. Plus, the waves and the sound of the wind in the treetops.” So go ahead, the bucket list is calling – and answer with a loud “Yes, I want to experience that!”

Anything is possible if you want it. Only you set the limits!
