Even before the movie made it super popular, having a "bucket list" has always been a thing. People making lists of the places they want to go or the things they want to do before they kick the proverbial bucket.

While everyone is unique and has different things on their lists, it turns out that we have a lot of commonalities too. Choice Mutual recently surveyed Americans to find out what made it onto their bucket list. And not only did we learn a lot about Americans at large, Choice Mutual even broke it down by state.

What's on America's Bucket List?

When it comes to the top ten things on America's bucket list, it differs just a bit from Michigan. Here's what landed on America's top 10 list:

  1. Visit specific landmarks in Europe
  2. Visit specific landmarks in North America
  3. Learn a new language
  4. Become a millionaire
  5. Travel via cruise
  6. Travel via train
  7. Retire early
  8. Visit all 50 U.S. states
  9. Build a house
  10. See a specific artist/band in concert
