I'm not saying that marriage is limiting for anyone. I know that I could make time for anything if I wanted and the spouse can/should support me in it. I'm saying that "single time" is the perfect time to do the things one has always wanted because (theoretically) you only have yourself to spend your time and money on. You only have to work with your school/work schedule, not yours plus someone else's. It's your money, not "the household's." So, if you had no attachments like that, no having to find someone to watch the kids, no wondering if you should spend the money when the family needs this or that, what would you go for? This is supposed to be a fun, "What would I do/accomplish if I could" thread. The marrieds can definitely throw in some "before kids" stuff, too. Someone said live alone and I must agree, I LOVE having my own place! It's one of the best feelings ever, being able to take care of myself and having my space when I need it.

I decided to travel cross-country at the end of this year. My sister and I are going to take a photography class together. I definitely want to learn how to cook before I get married. Actually, that's more of a need--Ramen a la king is fine for me, but I don't want my kids growing up on that.
