My Milestone Birthday Bucket List

Starting early on some life goals and new experiences

For my birthday this year I am setting some specific goals and bucket list items. My intention is to complete them over the next 2 years. Why that goal? Well today marks two years to my next big milestone birthday (happy birthday to me!). And instead of waiting for that year to come, I am going to give myself some time to achieve my milestone birthday bucket list. Yay!

With that, I am listing 25 bucket list items for the next 24 months. Some will be easy to achieve, some will take some time. But all of them are things where the prospect of checking it off the list is super exciting for me. Your bucket list may look very different, but here is mine.

Set Your Own Milestone Birthday Bucket List

And there you have it, my 25-item goal/bucket list for the next two years. That is 24 months to check these items off. As you can see, some of them are ongoing and meant to take me the full 2 years. Others are things that are an event, trip, or point in time effort. But together are meant to ensure these next two years are fun, different, and memorable.

I would love to hear from you on what items you would put on your own milestone birthday bucket list? Maybe I will end up adding some more before the two years are up or will start working on my next one. Let’s do this friends!
