Do you also have a "bucket list" of things you have yet to experience? Ah, don't worry, we have selected 40 (realistic) goals for you, which would be good to achieve before the age of 40.
Many individuals (perhaps including you) love to make lists of goals and adventures they must complete before they reach a certain number of years or before they die. However, it often happens that most of the goals are basically unfeasible. The fact is that in life we are always limited by something or we set ourselves too high goals that scare us too much, and because of that they are ultimately meaningless. That's why we've come up with a list 40 common goals that are harder to achieve and added related ones that we believe are totally doable and you can add them to your list if you want.
