Poll: Has your life improved over the past 5 years?

    Lightbulb Has your life improved over the past 5 years?

    I was just wondering about improvement and how we often take it for granted. If your life has improved in a significant way, how did you get there? If it hasn't, what do you think is holding you back?

    You get old enough age isn't an improvement.

    Fifty-six... In all honesty I'm probably in the best shape I've ever been in.
    Now I have to meet some Belgian dude that wants to sell me some land..."reasonably priced."

    much better than 5 years ago (minus one relationship SNAFU).. it was honestly a topic of my therapy that life was so good I was afraid of it falling apart like it did in 2010-2011.

    I don't have to worry about the world being destroyed by the retardation of Trump.

    Yeah, turned house debt into equity and also I learned how to do home and car maintenance because I didn't like how I was always clueless and reliant on other people before. Lost some older family members but also gained new family members. I digitized more of my life and do more stuff online, which it's nice when you don't have to physically travel around as much to get stuff done.

    I know but it's like no matter how many improvements there are people always deny it and try to claim that society is going downhill.

    Yeah, I agree. We have it pretty good compared to most people throughout history. I was also wondering if your avatar is referring to white swan and black swan events.

    I became a father. so yes, it did improve a lot. 5 years ago i was spending lots of time trying to figure out advantages of Megapersonals and dating different girls here and there. I love current life much more.
