How would you rate your life?

10/10 because I love my life! I am so grateful for everything.

That’s hard. I’d love to embrace life and be joyful but I can’t. I worry about money and illness and the kids too much. I’ve not got many friends and that gets me down a bit. I try to find joy in small things. I’m 55 but I feel like nothing exciting will ever happen to me. Plodding along.

I find it strange that anyone would 'rate their life''.
This is it guys - your one run round the track, your one flight, your one breath in breath out.
You don't get to pick another Airbnb next time you visit.

Hope you feel better today @MrFluffyDogIsMyBestFriend
im fascinated by these threads but parts of my life aren’t the way I’d like either including my health.

Probably a 10, although I dislike saying that as I don’t like to tempt fate! Although many wouldn’t like my life at all.

Single and child free by choice, I have a wonderful little dog who I adore
In very good health (recently had a health MOT)
Amazing and supportive healthy family
Small and wonderful group of friends
A beautiful home in a relatively safe location, surrounded by countryside
Good job with decent pay
New car

A good balance of everything and I count my lucky stars everyday. I’m also aware that life can change in a blink of an eye, so I’m always grateful.

7.5 - I think I dwelled on negatives (minor health complaints and work stressors). I got 9 or 10 in some areas but very low marks in others. I don’t think AI is good at assessing the human condition!!!!

Money - pretty ok. Not rich but comfortable
Work - good. Wfh full time (love it) low stress, relatively well paid
Relationships - single and happy with that.
Friendships - don't have many but don't want many! So absolutely fine with that.
Health - could be better, could be worse
Hobbies - perfect! I have lots of fun hobbies and plenty of time to do them
Travel - all good, have some nice trips planned
Home - love my home so much. It is perfect for me
Children - they're adults and we have a great relationship, all good.
Family - well my wider family is mostly awful so not great in that area. But I came to terms with that a long time ago
Progression/studies - I'm late 50s. No desire to progress further at work. Any study I do is for fun. Fine with that.

I would give myself a solid 9. Nothing I want to change about my life. Probably the 1 point comes from the fact my health could be a bit better.

10/10 all the time that everyone I love is safe, happy and healthy.

About 3. But feel even more depressed reading this thread.

I just tried running it through Gemini and it gave me 46/50 (I think - maths iosnt my strong point!)

Health
8.0
Elite fitness, but the "tiredness" is a persistent tax.
Relationships
9.0
High stability/love; just a desire for more physical intimacy.
Hustle
10.0
Total autonomy, intellectual growth, and zero ego-traps.
Finances
8.5
High equity/pensions; just needs a bit more liquid "buffer."
Mindset
10.0
Post-traumatic growth at its finest. You are "delighted" with your life.

Sorry @Hellokitty1986tgats a terrible hand you’ve been dealt.

mm my score on paper should be high but I’m reflecting I’m maybe a pessimist.

relationship - DH loves me to bits but I’m less loving to him. Married about 27 years. He’s very kind.

Family- 2 daughters. 1 has had severe struggles with mh but she’s coming through it and loving uni.

Wider family- lost my brother to suicide in 2021. It crushed me and daughters and we still struggle.

home- nice big house. 5 years left on mortgage.

work- nice career as uni lecturer. I’m wanting to retire soon though so not really getting as much satisfaction from it as I could.

friends- yes I’ve got some lovely close friends that I see regularly.

money- I earn a decent salary but would like more savings. Not sure why I’ve been crap at that. Pensions are good though .

i think I should probably rate it 8-9 but I actually feel it’s 7. That’s my personality coming through I think.

I found it super interesting to put it into Gemini. Which gave me a lower score than u hoped for!!! But the process - and the score - helped me to reflect on what could be improved.

On paper my life looks great but I struggle to appreciate it sometimes due to being busy and tired having a toddler and a FT job. I saw a quote the other day that resonated: "What a privilege, to be exhausted by the life you dreamed for yourself".

• Money - no financial worries.
• Work - in-house solicitor in an interesting field, supportive colleagues, ability to WFH 3/4 days a week.
• Relationships - happily married, together since 18.
• Friendships - several groups of friends from various life stages and a small number of close friends. Drifting from some friends due to kids/distance etc.
• Health - no major concerns, but generally a bit run down and catch a lot of colds that DS brings home from nursery.
• Hobbies - I have a few hobbies I enjoy and try to make time for (running, yoga, reading).
• Travel - have been lucky enough to do some amazing far-flung travels pre-baby (New Zealand, Vietnam, South Africa etc...), current lifestage is more UK trips or Spanish/Greek island resorts which I also appreciate.
• Home - love our modern and spacious home which we moved into last year, only 29 years left on the mortgage....
• Children - one gorgeous DS who is nearly 2, unsure if I could cope physically and emotionally with a second child but have always pictured having 2 children.
• Family - small family, good relationships but live several hours away so see each other every 3 months or so.
• Personal progression and studies - career is in a good place due to a lot of hard work and long hours in my 20s, but progression will be on the back-burner for the next 10 years while DS is in primary school.

8/10

Great husband, adore and enjoy my kids, totally unstable/unpredictable freelance work in dying industry but no mortgage to worry about because we paid it off; tend to be a bit anxious & sensitive & volatile, worry lot about friendships & family-of-origin relationships; like how I look generally & don't mind ageing but have annoying menopause symptoms & complete overwhelm about trying to work out how to treat them via a recalcitrant & unhelpful GP surgery. I know I'd feel many percent better if I did a few percent more exercise, but I get in my own way with that. I gave up alcohol almost a decade ago and am permanently glad I did that- but I still smoke, lightly, and loathe myself for that failing. Generally I find myself quite hard work on the inside - but I enjoy most of most days and have a lot of gratitude for my immediate family. I used to have a much more shiny, glamorous and well-paid professional life, but it made me extremely stressed unhappy and drunk, so I remind myself of that when I feel poor, obscure and messy...!

8.5

No money worries
Nice DH and DC
good friends
hobbies and interests and have fun weekends
lots of holidays
I love my house
I like living in the UK

I do worry about disabled adult DC and how he will manage when I’m gone.

Fuckin zero no pension, no friend s, no money no job absolutely bolocksed b, is that what you want to hear?

I love my life- I have great friends and family.

My health has taken a nosedive over the last 10 years though, and I am in constant pain. I still try to do the things I used to, but it takes me days to recover.

I don’t want to mark my life down because of that though!

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine your heartbreak. I hope you can all find some healing as time passes.

Ha ha!
Id score zero on this! Literally.
Money - none of my own other than £400 a month from my job which is essentially looking after other people’s kids at lunchtime (who have no idea how lucky they are).
Family- they exist (I’m pretty much NC with my shit father. Mother dead. Siblings - we share memes and jokes
Work - I have a PhD and work 10 hours a week because I have a severely disabled child. See also - travel (as if! Do double incontinence and wheelchair users do anything beyond an hour or 2 journey away).
Friends - yeah sometimes if they need me
Relationship- fucking make me die already
Hobby - yeah when I get time I love painting and I’m good enough at it but see above re child and relationship
health - I’m alive. I’m very very strong from my daughter related activities- but I’m no longer slim as muscle has taken over. And age.
is my rating - fucked?

Mines a 10 to me. I love my life and everybody in it ❤️

Well, not sure i can put a number on it but I won't be sad when it's over.

Loved this thread, made me very reflective. I think mine would have to be 9.5 although sometimes I need to remind myself how peaceful and lucky it is when its a Tuesday night and bedtime is taking forever!

Relationship- marriage is solid, very much in the roommate phase really although try to find connection and our communication has come a very long way since the early parenting days. Not always aligned on politics etc but on the same page with our goals and life we want to be living and treat each other with kindness and respect.

Children- 8 and 4 so through the early days, ups and downs but generally more capacity to look after ourselves although often feels a bit of grind, they are both lovely.

Money- comfortable. Expensive few years of house/wedding/ mat leaves means savings have started from scratch several times but growing now and can afford our lives without stresses.

Family- extremely lucky on both sides. Wonderful families. Only sadness is that my sister and brother have moved abroad so rarely see them but still very close.

Health- very fortunate so far.

Job- am doing the job I wanted to do since I was 4 and love it as much as ever. Wonderful place to work and truly haven't had a bad day there in my 13 years. Very lucky.

Only thing knocking down from 10 is the stress my husbands job causes him and us. He hates his job but is a high earner and feels he has no choice. He is frequently very unhappy and the whole family feels that. He is taking steps to improve boundaries with it though which is helping.

So a lucky little life which I am going to take more time to be grateful for while it lasts.

This is worse than a Jackie magazine quiz in 1985

Interesting thread, it’s all very subjective but this is how I rate it :

• Money - I’m on maternity leave at the moment, but has been pretty good incl.my husband’s income
• Work - love my job but might need to leave if part time is declined (have young kids)
• Love life - good for being together for over 10 years, no passion though
• Friendships - got better recently but would love more depth
• Health - mid 30s, not perfect but nothing major
• Hobbies - no motivation unfortunately
• Travel - not the same with young kids but still manage ok
• Home - paid off but need a bigger house
• Children - one is a delight and the other hard work
• Family - very good relationship with immediate family
• Personal progression and studies - nothing I want to pursue

I would say between 7 and 8
