Objectively, about a 7
Feels more like a 4-5 lately though
---

Probably a 7, closer to 7.5 really.

I used to actually bounce between 9 and 10, and my solely non-work life is still there, but work has been so shitty and depressing lately that it's harder to compartmentalize it.
---

Went with 5. Probably would've been a 7 a few months ago. I've been afflicted with some ennui as of late. Currently striving to better myself a bit but not at the point where I'm seeing results yet-- will probably go back up to a 7 once I start seeing said results-- or higher who knows!
---

I went with a 6. I'm pretty happy on every front except the biggest one: Love.

It'd be a 10 if I was with the girl I like. It's intimate companionship I want.
---

On average I'd say 7, but depending on my mood that can drop to around 5. Or even increase to an 8, but I don't think I've ever gotten up to a 9.

And I can't even fathom what 10 would feel like

Happily Married
3 cats and a dog
Live in a really nice neighborhood with a great view of the mountains
Work in a job with a lot of crazy customers and crazy occurrences but I'm good at what I do and my wife loves the Veterinary Clinic she works for and they pay above the industry average

Would always like to make more money of course but we live comfortably and I get to hike in the Rockies every weekend so I'm going with a 9.
---

Probably should be 9 but I went with 8 so I could feel that sweet satisfying tingle of pessimism
---

did you make this topic at the same time last year?
---

Always bummed to see that most of the board isn't in too good of a spot.
---

I have a roof over my head and a life in relative comfort, but on a personal level and a looking-at-the-future level it's not too...exciting. So a 6.
---

9. in a great relationship, going to europe in less than a week, no real complaints. if i could actually get some sleep id be perfect but as far as factors i can control things are pretty great

+I have a car
+I have a loving family
+I have a job
+I am super overqualified for this shitty helpdesk job
+I have time to play games

-I spend more than 2 hours each day on traffic
-Loving family means I am afraid to leave home and live on my own
-I hate my job with every fiber of my being
-Yet I don't have experience in being a sysadmin and therfore no experience = no new job, no new job = no experience
-Playing games is a massive waste of time that I can use it to date girls or study or whatever
-No girlfriend/wife (there is no plus to this..I think)

So yeah 4 or something
---

9 cause I'm hungry.


---

I went with three, mostly because I know things can always get worse.
---

I went with a 6 because society has taught me to be unsatisfied with my current lot but I feel a lot better than a 6. The only negative in my life is more boredom than I'd like, cant really complain about anything else.
---

4, moving to another province this weekend and moving is always stressful, also don't have a job lined up when I get there and the job search is generally stressful. Only positives are being a great relationship and being excited to finally live together as well as having an idea of where I want to focus my creative energy.

No it is not. Nothing you enjoy doing will ever be a waste of time.
---

He clearly doesn't enjoy it though
---

Oh well one of his positives was time to play games so my bad for misinterpreting
---

1-3 probably depending on the day
---

4. I've got a lot wrong with my life, but I'm holding out hope that there'll be a breakthrough in my career once I've gotten my masters degree.

Im a more positive person than I realized when I break it down. Not a perfect job, no great relationship... but decent family, friends, stable job, own my own place. Theres work to do but I have to be honest and say it could be a lot worse.
---

Could always get worse, but doesn't feel like it'll get better, so... 3.
