For work: retire at 55, ~20 years from now, after ~15 years as a full time entrepreneur running a handful of companies that are currently side gigs

Personal life: move away from the east coast or at least move south, spend time visiting my adult kid(s) and traveling for fun, throw myself into hobbies

Pretty solid - OP!

In 30 years: 2-3 kids who are through college and at least mostly independent and healthily pursuing their dreams.
Be 5-10 years from retirement. In leadership for a social enterprise, impact investing firm, or non-profit consulting firm. Have adopted another 1-2 younger kids if possible. Have written at least 2-3 books. Have started some social enterprise incubators and side gigs w the hubby. Spent time living between US and developing world. Enough saved that are able to retire in LCOL country but still travel.

Dead

I'm 31, so hoping to be near retirement in 30 years. Probably will try to work a federal job or admin job at a local University once I'm in my 60s unless I make it into some senior manager role.
