What's the most stress-free living situation?

Single, living alone, no kids. Oh, and cats in the house

Single or happily married
Mortgage free
Retired
Pleasant neighbours
Living in an area that you are not judged by your ethinicity
Good health and good Dr's surgery
Comfortably off
No pets or if have them no health issues and well house trained
Good tradespeople in the area that answer the phone and turn up!
Good eating out places close by
Access to local friendly clubs to meet other like minded people
Pleasant climate

Me right now , living my best life after a lot of strife.
Good health
Single
No kids
2 dogs
nice home no neighbours
plenty of money in the bank
Job I enjoy with great people
and more than any of this a few good friends and small close family .

I suppose it depends on the person.
Im 29, live alone and mortgage free in a nice area, good job.
I have no kids, my partner and I are long distance so see each other every other week. Feels very lonely and the thought of being 30 next month and having no kids feels terrifying.

But the thread is what’s the most “stress free” living situation and sorry having kids is very very stressful!

But feeling the full weight of responsibility for meeting the mortgage payments, coping alone if things go wrong etc can also be stressful.

Mortgage paid, married to a good man, kids grown and sailing their own way. Work part time... one wage pay the bills... other pay the extras. Bliss.

I have 3 grown DC, they have never been stress-free but I see it as life-enhancing stress - who wants an easy life? And what they give back to me in terms of fun and support makes it all worthwhile.

Otherwise, I have a sweet and undemanding DP who lives here part-time, a lodger and a dog, lovely neighbours and a rewarding self-employed business. I’ll never not worry about money a bit but again that’s what drives me on. A stress-free life would be so boring!

Inner life -

I love this list. Sums it up.
