Before we dig deeper into the examples, we must get an answer to the most important question here - what are long-term goals, exactly? Well, to put it shortly, those are the things that take time and planning to accomplish, to which the road might be rocky, but also very pleasing at the very same time. These long-term goals might consist of many steps, and they might even take several years until fulfilled. So, wondering what might those be besides finishing a degree, writing a book, or becoming your own boss? Well then, check out our examples of long-term goals and find your inspiration.
A challenge in life is always a good thing. You know what they say - without hardships, there won’t be any good times. Or, the good times won’t be as happy as they are supposed to be, and that’s just your basic human psychology. And a good way to take up a challenge is to give yourself a good long-term goal - one that you know is definitely achievable but is not as instant as, say, exercising more. This way, you can somewhat control the hardships that you might encounter on the path of achieving your goals, but that won’t make it any less satisfying once you do!
So, ready to check out our bucket list of long-term goals? If so, just scroll on down below and find them there. Give your vote for the long-term goals examples that seemed truly inspiring to you so that they’ll find their way to the top of this list. And after all that is well and done, share these bucket list ideas with your friends!

Spend money on experiences instead of things.

Save enough to retire.
yeah great in concept but you have to have enough left after basic stuff to save, and actually more importantly, invest, and when you end up losing 3 years worth of savings/investing in 8-9 months of tanking stocks due to inflation and all that other BS, how's that supposed to happen exactly?
The worst companies (oil, weapons, tobacco) are the best investments - keep buying, and either they go down and the world is a better place, or the world is still fücked but at least you have money.

Worked as Civil Servant for 37 years and paid into additional pension when I could. Have taken early retirement at 57 - no mortgage. Fab.
Glad things worked out well for you. That said, you come from a different generation. The cost of living is higher now. Wages have been stagnant since the 80s. Viable jobs are much more competitive now.

Follow a regular exercise routine.
My girlfriend and I follow a daily exercise regime called making love till we are exhausted and fall asleep in each other's arms. But apparently you can't talk about the one thing that almost everybody does and is the most important thing for the existence of mankind. Because without sex mankind would have gone extinc already. Why there is such a taboo on one of the most natural things around baffles me every time.

Learn to cook some dishes like a chef.
I went to culinaire school cooking like a chef requires skills not everybody has or want. Preparing a dish like a chef also requires fresh ingredients and the right techniques. I'm pretty sure nobody wants to prepare triple cooked fries or make a real egg Benedict (the original way) from scratch.
