SINK/DINK Women - What are your life milestones/goals?

Can be any! Life, personal, professional, emotional, physical, spiritual, travel, financial, etc

Context: I’m a SINK, late 30s woman. It took me many years to find the joy in my life path while all of my best friends have gotten married, moved to the burbs, and had kids. I have a life I generally love, successful career, have traveled. I realized that even though I don’t follow the traditional, nuclear family milestones, I should have my own. So looking for some inspiration while cheering you on yours!

Mine:
- Go to a German spa and sauna (IFKYK). Be happy, comfortable, secure with my body and the experience. No intrusive thoughts.
- Salpingectomy. Release me from the fear
- Hit FIRE. Please, I’m tired of working and just want to sleep in, do yoga, and hike, beach, dive whenever I want.
- Take a sabbatical and live my FIRE life for at least 3 months. DREAMY
- Live abroad for at least a year. Indulging in the food, culture, people.
- Have a friend group that travels internationally annually. No kids. A place and time to reconnect, relax, have fun, no responsibilities.
- Send plane tickets to my nieces and nephews (best friends kids) to meet me somewhere internationally. Yes - I am and will always be the fun Aunty.
- Find my life partner and get married. I love being single and I love being in love.
- Establish healthy family boundaries and have healthy relationships with them. Woof. Working on that.
- Scuba Dive in the Red Sea. Preferably on a live aboard with an incredible chef - think Below Deck but on a budget
- Do a month long yoga retreat. Connect with myself, nature, continue to find inner peace and healing.
