Pretty much, although I thought I would be the owner of the land I lived upon. But I lived a lot longer than I expected and I’m happy with the way things turned out.

Not really. I have never expected much back then, I was too young to think about the future. And come to think of it, my life have taken several twist and turn that I couldn’t imagine. I’d like to experience surprise like that.

Pretty much, things turned out a little better than I anticipated.

Don’t know, I never restricted myself to thinking i’d be in any shape at any point in time.
Prefer to keep options open & let shit happen, right now, i’m more than happy.

Pretty much, although I have more money than I expected and less of a husband.

I don’t think I thought that far ahead honestly.

Depends on when you asked me. If you asked in high school, no I would be horribly disappointed that I’m not a NASA engineer, lol. If you asked in college…yep, I was pretty much just planning to work a cushy office programming job, and that’s what I’m doing. Things are okay.

Yes and no. I set goals for myself right out of college and one was to make a certain amount of money by the time I was 50. I hit that goal at 46 and now am light years past that goal largely in part I now own an adhesives company. THAT is something I never imagined I would do.

From career / general well being perspective I’m on right track. When it comes to personal matters I’m off track which kinda negates what I have been able to achieve so far in life.

I had expected to retire at the end of this year. I beat that by 3 years.
