This morning, we talked about a survey of 2,000 people in the UK that revealed 50 things you must do in order to live life to the fullest. The list includes a wide variety of things like having a one-night stand, losing weight, starting a family, going bungee jumping, traveling and paying off debts. Of course, it’s easier said than done- 65% of people admit they don’t live life to the fullest because they can’t afford it, while almost 40% simply don’t have the time. To that end, life is short…if you’re going to tackle this list, you better start now!
