Earlier today, I read this rather insightful post by Matt @ The Church of No People, and it got me thinking about what the next ten years might look like. Now, as far as decades go, I’ve got 2.5 of them under my belt, and at the beginning of this decade, my greatest worry was trying balance working my part-time job and studying for my 4th Period Physics test. Since that time, I’ve graduated both high school and college, gotten married (to this incredibly good looking lady right here), had a kid, moved 12.5 times (I know, it’s pretty ridiculous), gotten ordained, bought 3 cars (only one of which cost more than $1,000), survived as a family of 3 on a single (and fairly not large) income for a few years, been lied to & learned some valuable lessons (I consider these last two things to be the same thing), and took my kid to Disney World.
Hopefully it’s pretty obvious that my list is hardly exhaustive. It’s more of a snapshot than anything else. But the more I think of it, it dawns on me that the last ten years comprises almost 40% of my life, and what a 40% it’s been, which brings us to the next ten years.
Here are my predictions for myself, the Boldman family, and the world in general for the next ten years. Obviously I have no real insight into the particulars of world events in the coming years, so it may not be a good idea to make any drastic life decisions based on the words that follow:
