Things to do before you turn 26

December 31, 2018 by Moni 136 Comments

First of all, wish you all a very lovely Happy New Year, may all your dreams come true this year. Here goes my gift for everyone.

Please don’t laugh at the music.

My last 3 years have not been good but 2018 ended on a good note so I guess 2019 should go well but I am panicked too because I am getting one year older. I mean this year in May I will turn 26 years old, and I am afraid of that. I guess I am not yet ready to feel old. However, I have prepared this list of things you should do before turning 26.

Buy Dinner for Your Parents

I know you can do it after 25 too, but within 25 hopefully, you start working and taking them out will make them feel good. I do not have parents. I could never do it for my mother, but for dad I did it.

Party During the Whole Weekend

It sounds crazy, but it feels good because with time responsibilities in life increases. Doing an “all weekender” can be more difficult as you get old.

Start Saving for Your Retirement

It may seem a long way off still, but not a bad deal. your retired you will thank you. 😉

Go for an Impulse Buy

You may not use it but it can be a reward to yourself. Sometimes a little bit of craziness is good.

Go on a Blind Date

To be honest I have never done it and I feel bad now. I know I can do it even now but I do not get the thrill of doing it anymore.

Learn to Let Go

It can be anything, friendship, love, anything because nothing is permanent. Some people come into our lives and exist for different reasons at different times. Holding on to a relationship or anything that has run its course doesn’t do either of you any favors. So spare yourself.

Try Going to a Lesbian/Gay Club or Bar

I have many bisexual, lesbian/gay friends and they are way too good. I am also a member of some LGBTTQQIAAP (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual) groups and clubs and trust me in spite of knowing that I am heterosexual I am equally loved by them.

Learn to Live Alone

Our association with ourselves is the most vital one of our lives; we won’t invest as much energy with any other person! Figuring out how to appreciate our very own conversation and appreciate being separated from everyone else is precious on such a significant number of levels.

I love wolves

These are completely what I feel and think, maybe you think differently than I do as everyone’s thought process is not the same. Always remember in life even the smallest thing matters.

By the way, did I miss out on any point or idea? Let me know in the comments.

Hope to see you soon. Till then, Stay safe, Take care.

    Start Saving for Your Retirement – this is probably the most important one. Take a portion of your paycheck each month and make the older you happy. Best piece of advice on this entire post. That and sunscreen & hats. Every single day.

    Love this list! As a 30+ aged *gulp*, there are certainly a few things that i had taken for granted / probably should have done in my 20s that seem a bit out of reach now or done sooner. All the best for a fabulous 2019!

    If you’re going to mention a gay bar, you’ve GOT to mention drag shows! They’re so fun! I had a girlfriend in my early 20s who used to perform in the drag shows and she was so great at it! I would bring straight friends just to show off what she could do! Alas, by the time I was 26 I had like four kids and that’s NOT something I recommend before you turn 26 LOL

    Oh lord do I wish I was turning 26. Now that I’m 30, I wish I had done a few more of the things listed. I lost my dad when I was 24 and I would give anything to be able to take him out to dinner and thank him for everything he did for me growing up.

    These are all great goals to have and I wish I had had them when I was in my 20’s. Everyone should save for retirement as early as possible because Social Security will be a thing of the past when most people in their 20’s retire.

    This is a great list! I wish had known more about saving for retirement when I was 26, but we got started a few years later. Learning to live and be alone is a great one as well. I think we learn a lot about ourselves when we have to be independent and that all makes us a better partner and friend to others!

    As a 26 year old, turning 27 this year… I have hardly done any of these things. I did go to a drag show once, and bought my parents dinner… but not much else.. saving for a retirement is a truly amazing goal though, the future is never guaranteed, so having money ready to care for all the possibilities is a great idea

    Those are great things to do before 26. Looking back to the days before I had kids, I would do a lot more travel and adventurous things. I am not as much of a risk-taker any more because it is my personality, but also because I don’t want to take certain risks (for instance, roller skating and getting hurt).

    Turning 26 is still oaky. I was mourning this year when i turned 31 in September. But I am glad i must have done most of the above. Going to a gay or lesbian club would be fun but my work culture lets me interact & spend much time with them doesnt feel any less. 2018 resolution was learn to live alone & I am proud some how nature worked in my favor & i was home for 3-4 months while husband was working & that was it. I did not have a single boaring moment & yet again last 3 months I am home & I started blogging. Life has been great. Hope you achieve all too.

A hurricane, fires, tornadoes, or etc that you will have to evacuate and can’t return home for a while. Always good to have money stash you can grab quick and go!

    This is a cool post for anyone looking to add to their bucket list. I do think that the most important one on the list is to save for retirement. In fact at the age of 26 it would be really cool if you could afford to max out the contribution allowable for 2019.

    For me, you are still young when you turn 26 and you still have a lot of time to accomplish those things that you wanted to accomplish in you life. Go ahead and enjoy your life, don’t be too worry for getting old you will be getting there someday!

    Yes, I should do this! Take my parents out to dinner since I’ve never; and also, learn to live alone. Good enough, I have a couple to years to go!

    Great list! The 20’s is definitely a time to explore but I believe you’re never to old to have new experiences and explore, although admittedly it does take a lot more schedule shuffling ,haha.

    I think this is a very good list of you for things to do. Although I am not sure how well a blind date goes at any stage along the way. I think some experiences are just that. They are nothing more. Nothing positive. Nothing too negative. They just are. I think each person has their own list. Although the saving is a good thing as soon as you can start doing it.

    I think it’s important to learn to live alone too. I try to explain that to several young adults in our family who are grown and feel they have to have a s.o. but they’re not listening too well. That’s okay too. To each his own. At least, I said it so they could hear it and maybe consider it at some point. 🙂

    I think it’s important to learn to live alone. Too many people are jumping in the ‘let’s live together’ thing and sometimes that creates lifelong havoc for them. If they’d relax a minute…and learn to love being alone too, that’d help them tremendously with their partnering decisions.
