Fifty is as good a time as any to take stock of what you've done and accomplished in your life, and figure out what more you'd like to do with your time now that you're both older and (maybe a little) wiser. Hence the bucket list, a list of things one would like to do before they die.
If you're looking to add some items to your bucket list, you are in luck! We've created a list of things we think people should do at least once in their lives. How many of these have you already done? Tell us in the comments section, or add your own suggestions to the list.
