I was wondering how many of you guys have a bucket list and if you do how many items have you fullfilled and how many are left to go

Here is mine as of now

1 - Buy a FORD GT - Done
2 - Buy a shelby cobra - Done
3 - Play ice hockey - Done and i started at age 46 and am still going twice a week
4 - Buy a jet boat and guide the Fraser river for Sturgeion fishing here in Vancouver BC - Done
5 - Build mega Hirise projects - Done
6 - Get a hole in one in golf - Done

And my biggest item of all - Some how find a way to move out of BC and into Socal / Norcal so that I can get away from the rain and into the sunshine , if anyone is hiring let me know
 
Serious bucket list - and glad you got most of them done. Mine keeps changing from day to day, so don't know if they'll all get done.

PS..I'm in Canada, like you...only in Quebec, worse weather than in BC, so I can't help you. :)

Guys, we pay 50% income tax up here...plus 15% sales tax...so at the end of the day...what are we left with 35% of the gross? Mortgage interest is NOT tax deductible, but we have free (albeit it shitty healthcare). Are you telling us that So-Cal is the same or more?

It depends on your income and if you are self-employed. It could be worst in CA!
