How many of these things do you have?

[wtkotjwhtkots]

What would you score out of 11?

• good health
• big (enough for your needs) house
• job you enjoy
• family and friends that care about you
• kids (if you wanted them)
• hobbies that you have time to enjoy
• enough money to be comfortable
• a loving marriage/partnership
• good self esteem
• mostly happy/content
• enough holidays to satisfy

Everything except good health.
Plus I’m retired but did love my job.

4 maybe 5 or 6 at a push

8 - could do with a holiday!!

6, although I didn't want children so untechnically a 7.

10

3

10.5, I am very lucky, but as others have said, I have been through a lot to get here.

9 because I'm too busy to do any real hobbies and although we do UK holidays, we don't go abroad as a family - dh doesn't fly as it makes him poorly 😔 so I go with the kids

6

5 but I consider myself to be bloody lucky 😊

• good health - No
• big (enough for your needs) house - yes
• job you enjoy - so so
• family and friends that care about you - yes
• kids (if you wanted them) - yes
• hobbies that you have time to enjoy - not really. But I only enjoy reading and music
• enough money to be comfortable - we don't go abroad but better than some.
• a loving marriage/partnership - yes
• good self esteem - no
• mostly happy/content - yes
• enough holidays to satisfy - I'd say yes

I never take a day forgranted

All of them, thankfully. Although the people do get on my nerves a bit (and me on theirs) at times.
Work can be a PITA too sometimes because of a couple of fuckwits.
Mainly very grateful for my life.

I'm not particularly fit and am overweight but apart from that I have all the things on your list .. not 100% happy in my relationship all the time (who is?) but perfectly 'content'.

I have just two of them ☹️
But, it’s better than zero I suppose.

10

10/11 - health leaves something to be desired but other than that, I consider myself to be very lucky. And even with my not great health, it could be worse!

10.5 Thank you for that list OP. I am guilty of taking what I have for granted sometimes, or stressing about small stuff, but that did make me stop and think how lucky I am.

About 5
Doesn't really bother me though and still think I have a nice life

10, everything but a hobby as life is too busy at the moment. Like other pps I haven’t always had it easy in life so am proud of the life I’ve built for myself.

About 9 (a couple of them I've counted as halves). Though I would like more holidays, they're really not important. I'm very, very lucky indeed.

Feels a little weird to 'score' these things, though, as if they're tick-lists of achievements rather than (mostly) luck.

• good health - passable, but with some chronic conditions. Not impacting on Quality of Life nor life threatening/shortening
• big (enough for your needs) house - Yes
• job you enjoy - Yes
• family and friends that care about you - Yes
• kids (if you wanted them) - Yes, the number and genders that I wanted and they've grown up into wonderful, well adjusted, successful young adults
• hobbies that you have time to enjoy - Yes
• enough money to be comfortable - Yes
• a loving marriage/partnership - Yes
• good self esteem - Yes
• mostly happy/content - Yes, but I have a very sick parent that causes me a lot of worry and sad moments, plus I've lost my other parent which makes me sad.
• enough holidays to satisfy - Yes

I think I'm pretty lucky, but no-one is immune to sadness and worries in life.

9 and I appreciate all of it/ them.

3 😭😭😭 that's it who wants to switch lives
