What is a bucket list?

A bucket list is a number of achievements which a person hopes to accomplish during his/her lifetime. It is also called a life list, drawn up to make life more interesting or goal-oriented, and ensure that it doesn’t just slip away. It could have to do with many aspects: work, family, travel, health, relationships, finance, contribution to society. A person’s bucket list could have life’s mundane goals and even wacky aspirations. The term `bucket’ comes from kicking the bucket, or dying. It is all about deciding, prioritizing, planning, budgeting, and finally, achieving.
