How happy are you in life?

Please answer two questions...

1. Are you happy with your life? (Optionally explain the degree of your happiness and satisfaction with life)

2. How wealthy would you consider yourself? (ie. poverty level, middle class average, deep in dept, have way more money than you really need)

Basically I'm curious whether or not it's a myth that wealthy people aren't nearly as happy as poor people. Please answer honestly, and perhaps add your own opinions. Easy points.

    Life is like a sh*t sandwich; the more bread you`ve got, the less sh*t you eat.

    1) Very, but like most things it is transient and I can only say that this current period in my life is exceptional. My sister and I have lived in several countries (on the run with my Father, long story), we were separated about 15 years ago and I have been sad because an essential part of my life was missing. I am a very positive person but I thought about my sister constantly and worried about her, on Monday we were reunited through our children and facebook and despite a horrible childhood we have spent hours laughing till we can't breath about the horrendous things that have happened, she is well, strong, healthy and happy and coming to see me for the weekend next Friday.

    2) I don't think I am wealthy but I am far better off than most, a couple of years ago I had a bad accident at work and suffered a head injury, well liability has been admitted I have received 20k interim payment and the court date is set for Dec for Quantum, however it will probably be settled before then, so I'll have no mortgage, enough to pay 50% of a house each for my daughters, go to South Africa (where I lived and have friends) for the football next year, take my grandchildren to Disney land, put a little aside for each of my grandchildren.

    But the thing that makes me feel really rich is the fact that my family are all well and not in pain.

    It's all yin and yang though because I have known very hard times as a young widow with two toddlers and years as a working single parent.

    I really am so very happy at the moment because my sister is back in my life.

  • I am extremely happy with my life. I am 38 an accomplished all I set out to do. Not many people can say that. What ever happens now is icing on the cake.

    I don't have a dime, but I have a family and more friends then I can count. This is what makes me wealthy, and since I believe in God I have a great retirement plan.

    lives, i wish not to answer this double blade sword...

    2. very wealthy...my daughter gave me a hug for no reason today

    that was pure gold....

    Source(s): the only myth is that money makes happiness i would not trade the love i have for my family or this life for any amount of $$$

    1) life sucks

    2)im between poverty and middle class i guess,

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes i am very grateful.

    Middle class.

    Even though i get frustrated sometimes i realize that i am blessed i have shelter food and love in my family all that matters is that your family cares for you and they support you in whatever you do.
