What is a bucket list?
A bucket list is a list of things you want to do before you die. The term comes from the saying 'kick the bucket'
What is BucketList?
The BucketList is a web-community which mission is to help people live their dream by achieving their goals. To this end the BL community tries to help Buckaroos by:
- Helping them make a list of life goals
- Setting deadlines for achieving those goals
- Receiving help and advice from others
- Paying it forward by supporting others in return
What is a Buckaroo?
buck·a·roo [buhk-uh-roo]
A buckaroo is a person with a bucket list. At least in the BucketList community :)
How do I list something?
The quickest way to add a goal to your bucketlist is go to your bucketlist and finish the sentence "Before I die I want to..." and click Add. As you are typing into the textbox the site may suggest similar goals. Selecting a pre-existing goal allows the community to find and help equal minded/motivated buckaroos.
To add descriptions, deadlines, etc. to your goals either add them via the Add a new goal-page or add goals as described earlier and just edit them later.
How do I get help fulfilling my bucket list goals?
First of all you should make these goal public on your list. Secondly you may unknowingly have a friend (or follower) who knows exactly where your comming from and would gladly help you with your life goal. So shareing your goals on social media could help you get started . Finally you can ask for help on the BL community's Help -page so fellow Buckers and Buckaroos can lend a helping hand :)

The first rule for becoming a bucker is to: Get involved. The second rule for becoming a bucker is GET INVOLVED ;) Offer advice and help any way you can. Either via help requests, goal comments or (b)log posts. You may just be the inspiration or support someone needs to fulfill their dreams.
Who else is here?
There are several ways to find friends (or foes :) on BucketList. You can...
