Re: What do you want/where do you want to live when you are retired?
[ QUOTE ]
humans, by nature, are dream chasers. once we achieve all of our dreams, all of our goals, there is only death. i dont ever want to be completely satisfied with my situation. i always want to be working towards something more. it makes me sick when ppl just sit around bashing ppl who are posting what their heart desires, who they want to be, where they want to live. whether or not its possible is irrelevant.

I'm with you 100% except for the part about the relevance of the possibility of your dreams: dreams that are too far off end up being discouraging rather than motivating. My own view is that dreams should be somewhat more than you can actually achieve but not absurd. Me working and dreaming towards discovering a unified field theory is not motivating because I wouldn't know where to start and have zero probability of succeeding. Me working and dreaming towards owning a highrise exactly two feet taller than yours, on the other hand, is perfect.
