Weight loss is the top goal for people over 50

Jeff Taylor's company Eons has determined the top goals for those in the U.S. over 50 are weight loss, writing a book and a Hawaiian trip.

A press release from the company detailed the top dreams reported by over 5,000 people over age 50 from all 50 states, as part of the company's goal of helping Americans discover and accomplish their dreams.

"Our goal is to build the largest collection of dreams and adventures on the planet," Taylor said. "Eons will be the center for accomplishing lifelong dreams, serving as a fire-starter for goals many boomers and seniors never thought or believed they could attain."

Travel was a prevalent theme at the top of the list -- with taking a cruise placing fourth and visiting Australia, Europe and Italy coming in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.

Rounding out the top 10 spots were: Staying healthy (No. 8), paying off a mortgage (No. 9) and retiring (No. 10).
