Yea, it's alot of money things, but some things like backbacking and stuff aren't. Alot of goals, but it's alot to work for. I really wanna be a better cook as well. I love being around people and entertaining. I don't want an expensive car (the old porsches aren't so bad priced, cheaper than most new cars). I don't care about a huge pool, or a Rolex watch. Sure I would like to shop some nice places, but really- it's about having a good time and being able to learn. And if I could ever learn how to program a little better that would be cool too!

Not necissarily, it just depends on the way that you look at it. Own a House & Have a really nice home theatre can easily become, enjoying time with your family and friends watching movies at your house. And combining to have a nice little wine cellar and to be a better cook can be sharing your newfound cooking talent by having the best ingredients at hand to celebrate and entertain the people that matter to you.
It's having the perspective that tangible objects aren't gathered just to have them. But to enjoy the experiences that having them provides.

Making sushi, sashimi. (Score:1)
2) Borrow a sharp knife (an 8" butcher's knife will do) from someone who is an irritating perfectionist, but keeps sharp knives. You want to feel like you're cutting warm butter.
3) Clean the fish, rinse the meat, move the good cuts to a clean cutting board, and examine the grain of the flesh.
4) Look for a bias that you can get decent 1-2 bite sized slices with attractive angles.
5) Cut Cut Cut.
6) Arrange and garnish.
7) Pour your drinks, and serve!
(Before you go fishing: buy Tamari, and powdered wasabi. Make the paste from the powder, Buy fresh gingerroot, skin it, slice it paper thin, and marinate it in rice vinegar in the fridge).
It isn't rocket science. Contemplate what you are doing in each step, and make your actions count. Only attempt what you know you can do with fluid certainty. Is the fish fresh? Is it clean? Can I cut it this way? Does it look good?
Enjoy!

The only problem is that there's maybe one guy in the place that speaks english... Actually that's an american view. It's my problem, because I haven't learned to speak other languages....
