  • 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

These things have waxed and waned over the years, but always 8 to 9.

10.5

A lot of my family are bad people (understatement), including my parents. Growing up was a difficult time and I wish I had good parents and extended family.

I'm very fortunate to have a lovely partner and children and great friends as well as everything else in your list though.

9
no job or major hobbies

DramaAlpaca · 24/10/2024 19:15

Ten. I don't have a specific hobby but I'm not bothered about that. I guess I'm very fortunate.

Carouselfish · 24/10/2024 19:16

2 and a half.
But I don't want a partner. And the rest is money related.

I wonder if optimists give higher numbers than pessimists.

At least 9 on a good day. Hope you have the same OP

BookishType · 24/10/2024 19:24

All of them. I don’t take it for granted.

Figsonit · 24/10/2024 19:25

6, and I'm an optimist.

All of them but the happy and content one. my hobbies are quite simple in that I just like dog walks and coffee.

Our house is plenty big enough but we’re looking at moving atm because our neighbours are a*holes!! I think once we’ve moved I’ll hopefully feel happy and content although freaking out the “comfortable money” one might fall away…
