In ten years (31) I will be in Chicago, working for a graphic design firm making much more than I spend, but only a moderate/good salary (50 000 - 60 000). I will be moving from a tiny studio apartment to a small three bedroom apartment and car shopping for my second new car ever because my Mazda will be off warranty. The reason for the move is because I'm applying to be an adoptive parent and "adequate space" is required. I'll be filing my application in the hopes of being approved even though I'm single. Though flexible work hours benefit this application.
In fifteen years (36) I will have two kids. One boy and probably another boy, but possibly a girl. I'll be just starting the teen years with one of my boys, the other will want to be just like his big brother. I'll be at wit's end with them, but I'll be one of the most valued members at my design firm.
In twenty years (41) I'll have a child getting ready to graduate and go off to university, one around driving age. Eek. I'll still be working at the design firm earning around the same salary.
Heh, I wish. Though the perfect scenario has a hubby in there somewhere, probably around 10 years.
