I wrote this post after I quit my job in investment banking and moved over to a dotcom tech company. I realized that so many of us define success as "having" things (money, cars, houses), whereas the things that really contribute to happiness are experiences you have (friends, trips, etc).<p>The goal of this exercise is to create a list of 30 experiences to "have" by the time you're 30 years old - before you're tied down with family, career, and mortgage. You can use my list as a model, or write your own. Now, go out there and do them - don't waste another day.
