What if it wasn't about the money?

I'm really looking forward to watching the movie "Bucket List".  I hope it's as good as the previews.  Have you ever started to make a list of the things you want to do before you kick the bucket?  No. I don't mean random ideas that make you think "Wow!  Wouldn't that be cool?".  I mean sit down and start brainstorming about all the things you'd like to do and put it on paper.  When you consider:

• Your career goals
• Places you'd like to visit
• Hobbies that you've not yet found the time to enjoy
• People you'd like to meet
• Some adrenalin-pumping adventure
• A worthwhile cause you'd like to volunteer or contribute to

Chances are if you sit down for half an hour and just write things down as fast as you can to go back and edit later to add meaning and clarity, you'd probably end up with 75 or 100 things.  Go ahead try it. 

Next, you'd rank them in order of priority and be experiencing an overall sense of pleasure just thinking about it.

Now, back up a step.  What if you had to rank them in order of cost and decide which ones you'd have to forgo?

That is why I do what I do...so you can do what you want to do instead of thinking about the money.
