Usually when you are told that you only have months to live and then the doctor says “oops, my bad…I was wrong, you’re going to be fine!” you are happy right? Not this guy. Although the news that he isn’t going to die soon is still good he is most likely regretting that $80,000 debt he racked up. After being told he only had months to live back in May due to lung cancer, this 69yr old New Zealand man and his wife sold his home at a HUGE loss. Then they took that money and decided it was time to cross some things off the bucket list. They took trips to Fiji and Australia, ate at fancy restaurants and even started smoking again (why not right?). In April he was told he was misdiagnosed and that he was going to live a long life. Now he is $80,000 in debt! Not only that, all the stuff on his bucket list is probably crossed off now…so what’s the point? JUST KIDDING! They say he still has life insurance and other things that will supply him money to survive. So he is going to be fine.

I made myself a “Bucket List” about 5 years ago and every year I make a New Years Resolution to complete 3 things on my list each year. Sounds cool right? Well I have done maybe 2 things on it in the last 5 years which is HORRIBLE! I need to add “stop procrastinaing” on the list. Even though I would probably never scratch it off as completed.

I can’t be the only one can I? You can see what 10 things did make the cut and compare them to your list, or steal some that you may not have thought of, after the jump!
