A lot of people are creating “bucket lists” these days. Basically, these are a list of things that a person wants to do before they die.
We are going to change things a little here. You will find here 10 classic things to do before you get too old to do them.
What kinds of things would you do if money was no object? Time is also a factor that you need to consider.
A lot of people think that this kind of list has to be filled with very daring things to do such as skydiving, a parachute jump, climbing a mountain and so on. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Your list is personal to you. The things that you want to do before you get too old to do them are going to be different to everyone else’s.
And that’s fine. We are all unique and there is nothing wrong with having a different list to your friend or family member.
The majority of people do not have a list like this. They believe that it is a waste of their time thinking about this and creating a list.
This is because their lives are so busy with work, children and other things that they cannot see where they will have the time to do these things. But if you don’t create a list then you will never do these things – that is for sure.
1. Take A Trip Of A Lifetime To Las Vegas
For many people, Las Vegas is one of the most exciting places on the planet. They yearn for the excitement of playing classic machines in the big casinos there.
