Is it bad to have no goals?

My only two are moving and a new job.
Kinda lame huh?

It's not bad - unless there are specific things you'd like to experience or achieve.
Without goals, life tends to drift and coast along: earning money, paying bills and gradually getting older.
Sometimes things might happen suddenly, a tornado, covid, cancer, breaking a leg, a car crash, falling in love, getting pregnant, having a family, divorce...
The least a person can do is try to put a few savings aside to help cope with the unexpected.
Around 50-ish many take stock. Regrets are not unusual.

One exercise is to imagine one is dead...
How would others likely react to that news? What would they do?
Was there anyone you forgot to make amends with, or forgot to thank or express love to? Were there any old issues left unresolved?
Did you write a Will and an Advanced Health Directive?
Was it easy for others to wrap up your affairs?
Did you make a difference in the world?
Who benefitted from how you lived?
If not, does it matter?
The answers to these questions can sometimes change how you choose to live from now on.

Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. As long as you're enjoying life

I don't think there's anything wrong with being content.

Still those are goals

@cherokeepatti they are but I feel they are pretty low or unambitious. I have things that I want buti if I have no plan or way to attain it, then that's called daydreaming to me...
