To be really good in my field (Biology/Chemistry) and to be a solid drummer. I am working towards the first one currently and the second one...well...I haven't actually touched a stick in 2 years due to a situation beyond my control, but if all goes well starting next week I will again be working towards that goal.

Edit: Also, I wouldn't mind winning a season of liquibet.

Edit2: I think in my endeavors to be a good student I have given up both the 'normal' (for the area/group that I came from) life of not going to college and staying with the group to continue drinking/smoking etc., which I don't count as much of a loss, and also the 'average' college life of drinking and partying...which again just isn't really my thing.

Be rich enough so I can be relatively free from the burden of money.

I don't know what I would sacrifice. Not money, that's for sure.

I don't really have a dream. I'm actually really happy with where I'm at in life. I don't have much money at all, but I do what I want when I want. Ideally I'll have a bunch of money sooner or later to do what I want with it, but I'm just hanging out in a house with my 3 best friends in a college town with no commitments. Eventually I want to start my own business and move back to where I grew up and start a family and all that jargon, but for now I'm living it up and sleeping 12-14 hours a day =]

Engineering a flashy social process like a revolution or something. Too bad there's nothing to revolt against.

Oh yeah, and a personal assault helicopter with unlimited fuel.

My dream is quite simple. Become a multi-hundred millionaire or billionaire.

Then use that wealth to help augment / change the entire educational system.

Sacrifices: I spend maybe 5% of the money I make on myself, I invest the rest.

I'm quite content and in a great mood most of the time, but I'm never really happy and I don't really "enjoy" life.

sounds strangely familiar

To eventually create an Anarcho-Capitalist society. What I would I give up? Everything if possible to see this achieved. Honor, Life, and Wealth.

I have no dreams and that sucks.

I'm soon 22 still at uni and i still have no real ideas about my future job(s).
I don't know what should be my life goals either.

The idea to live just to have some children is kinda depressing #_#
I would prefer to be remembered for my work than because of my genetics/name.

You can become a billionaire overnight. Move to Zimbabwe

The amount of money you have matters little if you can't purchase anything with the money. Perhaps you should be content with the purchasing power of your money. The saying "Money doesn't grow on trees." is actually false. It does grow on trees, because our FRN's (Federal Reserve Notes), have no intrinsic value. It is valueless. If the FED wanted to it could print one billion dollar bills, and you would more or less forced to use them because of legal tender laws. It would in essence make the money worthless because the only thing that makes fiat money have any such worth is its scarcity. Compulsory measures to force you to use it, make matters much worst. There are though more and more businesses and companies not accepting FRN's and only silver and gold which is a good start.

However, as matter of law, the State makes it compulsory to force you to use only FRN's in the repayment of debt. Why can't I, if I wanted to, negotiate with my debtor to pay him in whatever he deems fit? Of course, if that happened, the State wouldn't have a monopoly on money, and then it couldn't just wantonly print and pay for whatever it wants; Wars, Welfare, etc.

Well his dream is to become a billionaire is it not? I was merely illustrating the fact that the amount of money you hold doesn't matter. It's what you can purchase with the money. I think it's a fallacy that needs to be spoken more of.
