Are you happy where you are currently in life?

[sixone]

Yes. I have some things to strive for, but I'm content with what I have.

 

[nickbits]

Yes but I'm in a position where things can only get worse so that is a bit depressing. And there are no "big events" left (except retirement I guess) so I hope my current lifestyle doesn't get old.

 

[Platypus]

I could have every material possession, piece of knowledge, experience, interaction, etc and still not be happy. Nothing is really ever good enough.

 

[Twista]

hell no

 

[D1gger]

I'm certainly doing OK but lately have been feeling extremely burned out. I have worked 50 - 60 hours a week for more than 30 years now, and although it has been financially rewarding I think it is now about time to slow down and enjoy life more. I'm just not sure how to do that.

That's kind of depressing.

 

[Platypus]

That's kind of depressing.

shrug, those are the cards I got dealt.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Great family, amazing wife, 4 healthy kids, House, 3 careers....I'm very happy.

Kill me today and I will die a happy man.

 

[shortylickens]

This guy must be new if he's asking me.

 

[yhelothar]

I just got into USC neural engineering for grad school, something that I aspired to get in since out of high school, so I'd say I'm very happy.

 

[Fritzo]

Now over 40.
Losing my hair.
Keep working out, gut keeps growing.
Wife isn't healthy.
All my $$$ is going to retirement, various types of insurance, and bills.
Stuck in a 8-5 cubicle job.
Most fun I have is sitting in my basement playing PC games for a couple of hours before I go to bed.

Yeah...not very happy, and don't see things changing any time soon.

 

[OverVolt]

Not unhappy, but frustrated by the economy and how my generation overall is treated.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

life is good

 

[Saint Nick]

Life is OK. I have a great job, a great girlfriend, and good friends and hobbies. The only thing I lack right now is time to do stuff I want.

I am in the process of saving up a lot of money to either travel or move. Not sure, probably both at the same time.

 

[lokiju]

It's all relative.

But overall, yes, very much so.

I'm 32 as is my wife.

Our son will be 3 this Thursday.

We both are gainfully employed and overall both actually like what we do and the companies we work for.

We're able to keep ahead on our bills and save on the side as well.

All in all, I'd say I'm happy and content.

 

[JEDI]

shrug, those are the cards I got dealt.

money doesnt make me happy.

yet i got dealt a guarenteed 6figure multi-year contract in the middle of this recession!
but that contract ran out at the end of May. they're not renewing.

i'm now on a day-to-day basis and am waiting for the pink slip.
And hopefully out of these golden handcuffs and off to search for something more meaningful

Grats.

 

[KidNiki1]

not really.

 

[blackdogdeek]

yup, i feel awesome.

 

[pepperbegs]

Through hard work and really good luck I am in a good spot.

 

[Soundmanred]

Loving life, I have more than I need, the economy doesn't affect me, and I love the people I surround myself with.
Money won't make you happy, but if you know how to use it to your advantage it can!
I truly feel as if I have it all.

 

[xanis]

Pretty good. All of my family and friends are healthy, I have a great girlfriend, and I have an awesome job with some great perks. No complaints.

 

[SnipeMasterJ13]

I'm very happy where I am in life. I have an awesome full time job, my own house, and overall life is really good. I could not really ask for more. More money is always better but no amount of money is going to make someone happy, so I may as well be happy with what I have. I find my 20's have been the best time of my life. Especially after graduating from college and getting a job. Then things got better when I bought my house at 23 and started to have my own Independence. I'm 26 now. Time flies.

Um, are you me? I was confused for a second because this explains applies to me exactly. The only thing I'll add is that I'm currently looking into make a career jump (within my current company) that will hopefully get me a decent pay bump and get me back into what I went to school for.

Also, I let myself go through college, partying, cooking jobs, not playing sports and it sucked. Over the past year I got my shit together and lost 45 lbs, put on a decent amount of muscle and finally have some girls chasing me again. I will say that was/is the single biggest factor in my overall happiness. Crazy work and dedication at the gym, but completely worth it.

 

[SMOGZINN]

No, but I will be in about 2 hours.

 

[Doppel]

I'm good, have been more or less for a long time. I keep wondering if the house of cards will collapse but I imagine a lot of people wonder that.
