In the movie, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman portray two&nbsp;seniors diagnosed with cancer who embark on an around-the-world trip, coming to some realizations about the meaning of life along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty common that a person has a health scare or someone they know passed away, and that\u2019s when they start thinking about these issues,\u201d says Daniel Sullivan, wealth strategist for RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cThey realize time is short.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly half (46 percent) of baby boomers\u2014people born between 1946 and 1964\u2014have some type of a bucket list, according to the AARP. The majority of items on those lists revolve around travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But bucket lists have become more than just places to see or things to do. They\u2019ve evolved into life mission statements or personal manifestos of goals you want to accomplish during your lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s often because today, retirement is defined differently for many people. <a href=\"\/insights\/learning-from-the-fire-movement-and-retirement-planning\">Some people may retire earlier than ever<\/a>, while others must keep working longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost clients I see are enjoying their life rather than waiting for retirement to check off boxes as to what they want to do,\u201d says Liz Jacovino, a wealth strategist for RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cMaybe that\u2019s the new retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter your age, everyone should have a list of goals. In a practical sense, it provides focus. On a deeper level, a bucket list or life manifesto provides hope and a sense of accomplishment that can be life-affirming and enhance our sense of happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five tips to making your dreams become reality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How to start<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to set aside some time to think about your life and accomplishments. On a notepad, laptop or tablet, write down all of your dreams. Nothing is too big or too small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, many people want to ensure they\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/solutions\/retirement-income-planning\">have enough money in retirement<\/a> to take care of themselves and their spouse, says Sullivan. To help estimate that amount, which depends on individual needs and lifestyles, Sullivan will ask clients how they envision retirement and what they want to do in retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, he\u2019ll ask tougher and more specific questions: Do you want to buy a sports car? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/traveling-in-retirement-is-a-dream-but-high-costs-could-derail-plans\">Do you want to travel<\/a>? What do you want <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/solutions\/gifting-and-philanthropic-solutions\">your legacy<\/a> to be? Do you want to establish an alumni scholarship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clients\u2019 answers to these questions often become items on their retirement bucket list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-rbc-block rbc-block rbc-block-well rbc-block-small rbc-block-grey rbc-mid-page-cta has-block-grey-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-lg-12\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading cta-title\" id=\"h-lorem-ipsum-dolor-sit-amet\"><strong>Create your ideal retirement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cta-content\">Have the guidance you need to help make your dreams a reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<a class=\"wp-block-button rbc-button-no-icon rbc-mid-page-button is-style-secondary rbc-button rbc-button-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/find-an-advisor\">Find a financial advisor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Where to find inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for inspiration,&nbsp;Bucketlist.org is a good place to start. You can explore over five million ideas posted on the free site by over 400,000 people\u2014and create and track goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find ideas in plenty of other places, too. Check out magazines and internet \u201cbest\u201d lists, such as best small towns in America, and books with titles like <em>1,000 Places to See Before You Die<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bucket lists often are travel-heavy. People want to see beautiful places and experience different cultures. Indeed, according to the AARP, 83 percent of baby boomers with a bucket list have travel-related items on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While people age 33-71 say a travel list gives them something to look forward to, more millennials (24 percent) say their travel list pushes them to experience new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bucket lists, however, can be much more than travel itineraries. RBC professionals say some clients\u2019 goals include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/three-things-to-consider-when-buying-a-second-home\">buying a vacation<\/a> home to spend more time with children and grandchildren who live in another state or establishing a <span>charitable trust<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/leaving-a-charitable-legacy-with-donor-advised-funds\"><span>donor-advised fund<\/span><\/a> or <span>private foundation<\/span> to address their philanthropic goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also include professional goals, such as starting a business, and activities, such as running a marathon or learning a second language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Organizing your list&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to break up your long list into digestible chunks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can separate your goals by category: travel, professional, educational, etc. Another way is to sort the list by time\u2014goals by year or season or goals to reach before you turn 40, 50 or 60.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, prioritize each category. Ask yourself which goal is most important, what excites you the most or which goal can you easily accomplish. The answers may change over time, so keep your list updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Achieving your goals&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all of your goals need to be lofty. Make some smaller and easily reachable, which will also increase your satisfaction level.&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can plan how to reach your first goal. When should you do it? What are the logistics? Do you want to do it alone or with someone?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider a step process. Say you want to visit the Coliseum in Rome. First, get or update your passport. Second, learn Italian. Third, fly to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Making your list real&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it all seems too abstract, document your journey. Several free mobile apps&nbsp;let you explore ideas and create, track and share your bucket list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write about your achievements in a journal, create a map to mark places you visit or blog about your experiences. Make it fun for you, your family and friends to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bucket list re-imagined for a younger crowd: Why you should create a life mission
