Are you better-off now than you were ten years ago?

Question

Please explain.

Answer 1

Hells yes. Ten years ago I was struggling with debt, I had no job security, and I suffered with the demonic possession of an old guitar case given to me by Jimi Hendrix back in the sixties. Now I have even more debt ( my first book on finance...Your not a millionaire till you owe your first million by Drampor...due out sometime this fall), I've secured a part time job at Walmart ( thanks for shopping at Walmert, darn it I'll get it yet ), and I sold that guitar case to some kid wearing makeup named Marilyn something or other for a couple of American two dollar bills. I'm living the dream now Ma!!!

Answer 2

Ten years ago I was 9 years old, so I'm not sure how I can really compare. I wasn't doing particularly great in school at that point (I'm dyslexic, so I had a hard time with reading, writing, and arithmetic, which didn't make elementary school so fun), but on the other hand it didn't really bother me. I had virtually no responsibilities but also no freedom. The stress of adult life isn't so fun, but I definitely like the freedom that goes with it. I'd say that overall I'm liking college a lot more than I liked 3rd grade (although 3rd was better than 2nd or 4th...).

Answer 3

Well, ten years ago I was 8 years old.



Personally, yeah, I've got more money and I'm better off.



As for my family, we've been having some hefty payments lately (COLLEGE, musical instruments, medical), so we're a bit low these days I think. Also, with the gas prices up so high, money goes pretty quick. We're not badly off or anything, but it's getting a little tight.

Answer 4

ten years ago i was 13 and failing in school and grounded all the time and just generally miserable. life isn't perfect now but it's soooo much better than it's ever been for me.
