Time-line

Believe it or not I have a time-line. No it isn't just not any ol' time-line, its one that represents where I want to be in life by a certain point. Many will think that I am crazy for planning out things, but I feel like it is my motivation. I can only accomplish certain goals through a series of steps. If i set long term goals, I could then follow them up with short term goals. I feel like it is a process best beneficial to me. So out of pure enjoyment I would like to post that time line on my blog.

• 18-22: An undergraduate Nursing student at MSMC, where I will earn my BSN and become a licensed RN.
  

Possibly meet someone worth while and be on the road to a long term relationship
Establish GREAT credit

• 22-24 Possibly join the Navy as an officer to pay for my MSN program to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner or find a hospital that will to pay for my school.
  

Get a 1bedroom condo, and a practically new used car
Hopefully Mr. Longterm relationship become Mr. Fiance..if not..o well

• 24-28 If I go the military route, then I would spend four or plus year working with military families in San Diego, payoff loans, and travel periodically.

I would like to get married around 24/25..have one child by the time I'm 28.
Get a house and rent my condo.

• 24-28 If i do the hospital route, then I would stay in the greater Los Angeles area, and hopefully work at a facility that specializes in pediatrics.

same examples above will apply here.

• 24-28 The military thing didn't work out,if I can't find a hospital to pay for my schooling, well I will work 3 days out of the week in the hospital, work on my Masters, and possibly balance another job that isn't too tedious, like a blood donations center, while incurring more loans..lol

hopefully marriage will still be in the air but possible a little later in my 20's, but a house would not be in the picture right away nor will children.

• 28-32 Stable position in a hospital as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Be an active member in the organizations that have helped me reach my goals. If I went the military route, I would most likely be in San Diego.
  

I want to make sure I own a home by 30, while still renting out that condo. ( if the military is in the picture, I can get housing allowance, which will make it easier to have rental property)
Save money for the children's future education, I only want two by the time I'm 32. If I don't have kids... see the next time segment.

• 32-...... Continue working as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, then towards my late 40's, get a second job as a Nursing Professor. I want to rebuild a house in Belize, make it a vacation home and what not. The details for this time period isn't too detailed.

If I don't have my own kids for what ever reason, then I will adopt in my late 30's early 40's.
I would like to retire from Nursing at 65...
Move back to Belize, and rent what ever property I have out here in the U.S.A ( Hopefully my husband would be ok with the whole moving to Belize part)
....I think thats it



I had a writers mood swing towards the end so I stopped being so detailed..lol..anyway the plans above are not written in stone..more like on paper with a pencil that could easily be changed if necessary. And, I do have a few back up plans... :-D
