That is written like a high school paper with a min word requirement. You literally read "what goals should I set for myself" 3 times in a row before anything else, and then immediately goes off into a tangent about "is this a good question". I don't have time for this kind of drivel.

The answer is: have kids, be able to raise those kids, foster a good family dynamic.

Most kids these days are brainwashed by hollywood to focus on sex without kids, spending money on shit rather than saving for your family, and being independent (selfish and focused on yourslef) over raising a family.

These are long term goals and you should be working on them from day one. That means dating to find the right person to marry. Developing yourself so that you are desirable. And building an education and career to be able to support a family.

Being fit is the first thing that will matter. It shows that you have the intelligence, focus, and are willing to do the hard work to get what you want. All important to being a valuable partner. Before you can start deciding on who is right for you, you have to convince them that you are worthy of them. Be fit.

Then you have to find a wider pond to fish in. You will be far more likely to catch the right fish by going from pond to pond and talking to lots of people. Don't be with someone just to be with someone. If they aren't the right one cut it off early. Give someone a chance who you don't immediately think will be right, get to know them and they might be completely different when they are comfortable with you.

Getting a high paying job is obvious. What most people overlook is the years of working shit jobs you have to do, or the shit education you have to endure. Start looking for, and doing the shit that will lead to better opportunities. If you are unemployed and looking for a high paying job you will be fucked in 10 years when you haven't found it or done the shitty jobs that would get you there.

Then don't neglect your family for your job, or your friends. Focus on family gatherings (with cousins) over friends.

Find happiness - whatever that is for you - and do so without fucking with other people's lives in a negative fashion.

Most people don't know what will make them happy. I remember absolutely dreading any time my parents wanted to drag us out to do something. Then sometimes I would end up enjoying it. Every single thing that I enjoy I had no idea I would enjoy it before I tried it.

Then there is the problem that you can be happy or unhappy with just about anything depending on your state of mind/perspective. So even if you follow happiness you can end up changing your mind, or losing interest, or becoming disillusioned and ending up miserable.

And most things that lead to long term success and happiness require some kind of hard work or sacrifice. In other words you need to do the things that make you miserable in order to eventually get a lot of value out of it later.

it's one of several problems with today's youth:
1. They want instant gratification. 2. They're all very lazy. 3. Most don't read.

So they have no idea about the world around them, as they're too lazy to read about it yet they all want instant pleasure from being immersed in demonic social media. The future of the planet is bleak, once these idiots get older and attain political power.

Your first goal should be to learn to think for yourself.

that takes too much effort for lazy Gen Z. Video games and social media, esp. the 40-char-or-less braindead variety, is much easier.

Millennials are the most-entitled generation in history. Gen Z will be the dumbest & fattest.
