Bucket list

Everyone should have a Bucket List. It gets you motivated to do things you've always wanted to do instead of sitting there watching TV and an advert comes on saying "when was the last time you were Fiji'd?" and you say, "Oh, I've always wanted to go to Fiji", but make no move to actually save for it.
