The Start of my next 50 years...

I started seeing these 101 in 1001 day lists of things people want to accomplish in 2.75 years. Well I couldnt keep my list to just 101 and I wanted to make a ton of goals for my future, so I decided to keep an on-going list of goals and just make it My 50 year Plan.
