Currently, those are the items on my bucket list.

But what about you?

Choice Mutual just put out a study to get some insight into what people in different states across the U.S. include on their bucket list of things they want to do, places they want to visit, or other thrilling activities they hope to experience.

Overall, we discovered the average American bucket list has 19 items to check off. Additionally, the average person has already checked off about 20% of the things they listed.

Apparently, we in the Garden State are very ambitious, with the second longest bucket list in America, only Wisconsin on average had a longer list than us.

Wisconsin’s average length of their buck lists was 24.92 items, while we averaged 24.32 items.
