9

no children.
retired.

Really enjoying all the positivity. And beautiful to hear of so many who have overcome a lot to build happy lives ❤️

10/11. I could always do with an extra holiday or two.

I know I am very fortunate

Three. How sobering🙄

All apart from hobbies. I don't really do hobbies, apart from reading and travelling. Maybe more holidays would be nice.

Ps I am very conscious of how fortunate I am.

I’d quite like a few more holidays, but it’s a yes to the majority of that list.

9 or 10. How much is enough money though? Not enough for many luxuries but enough that I can sleep at night.

10 easily. Two years left in the job.

10. I'm now retired but enjoyed my work. I was widowed young in a shocking way and never had another partner so that's my minus one point, but apart from that life has been good.

10/11 I don’t have a job, early retirement. So

I've got most of those. Having said that, I think my house is big enough and that I have enough money to be comfortable, but by the standards of a lot of other mumsnetters I'm living far below the minimum they could possibly live on, in a house far too small for my needs!

All of them, but I didn't always have all of them so I appreciate how lucky I am every single day

Honestly.. 0. Depending on who I'm on shift with then 1. The rest are 0.

I have them all except the biggie - health!!

I'd trade in the holidays and the fancy bits just to be well again

But incredibly lucky nonetheless

I have all of them now I'm very lucky but I am 55 and it hasn't always been that way in my younger years I have had my fair share of worry and troublesxx

Me too not enough time.

10, I'm single but don't consider that to be a bad thing!!

I'm very lucky.

7

All of it, apart from holidays, which I cannot be bothered with.

3, but I think I have 2/3 of the most important ones.

I have a job I like, family and friends who care about me, and enough money to be comfortable.

The 3 I’d say are most important* are:

• good health
• family and friends that care about you
• enough money to be comfortable

…so I consider myself lucky to have two of those.

I don’t care about the big house / hobbies, and I think happiness / contentment is both temporary and entirely relative.

(*disclaimer: not true for everyone. Obviously if you desperately wanted children and didn’t have them, or your self esteem is low enough that it causes mental health issues etc, that’s different)

11, I am so grateful

11 and I'm very happy with my life and incredibly grateful.
It's been a tough road ,as I'm sure it is for everyone but we are very fortunate.
