I see many of the goals as being related to each other sequentially. First, you become an Uebercoder (or at least START on it). Then you get the new, better job. You make more money and have more time on your hands to "get a life." You improve the quality of your life by losing some weight and getting in shape. Then you look more attractive to any potential significant others, which makes it easier to get a date. Winning the lottery would be an added bonus, but not necessary.
