Are you better off now than you were a year ago?

A little worse off, but only because of family drama. It doesn't have to do directly with me, but it still drags me down.

Well, this time last year I was two weeks past my college graduation, with no money, and living at my parents' house.

Now, I live in LA and I work in Hollywood, getting ready to make my directorial debut.

So yeah, my life sucks ;)

I guess a little better off. Still a mess academically, but am 60 lbs lighter than I was this time last year.

I'm awesome no matter what year it is...

About the same.

Better I suppose. I've been promoted within the past year, so I'm making more money, but still not enough money.

I'm still a lonely loser though.

For the first year in a while, I can honestly say, yes.

nope everythings going downhill, for worse ^_^

Life's in limbo. Story of my year.

I'm one year closer to retirement, my car payments are several thousand dollars smaller, and this time last year I was in Afghanistan so I would say I'm better now than this time last year.

Same shit

The same. Definitely a lot worse than it was before Obama took over the country and Brown took over the state.

Making more money but otherwise about the same.

Much worse off. Lost a lot in the past year, only thing left I have is my job which is good I suppose...

Yes and no.

I'm out of the military and back home in Washington which is great.

But since then I've gained 25 lbs and have gone from making 50k a year to about 12k + monthly BAH from the VA whilst in school.

For some strange reason, yes much better, even though nothing has changed at all since last year. On the contrary, I'd say things have deteriorated even more. Its really inexplicable, but I feel good, real good, basking in tranquility, serenity and self-possession.

Pretty much the same. Only deviation is I work part-time at my university now which is the first time I have a job - even a petty one - in my life. On the other hand, still no gf...

Can I cheat a bit and say 2 years ago instead of a year? =P 2 years ago I was out of a job, struggling with a brutal adjustment to a career change, living in a country where you can barely survive economically and living 3000km away from my girlfriend.

Now I moved to a better country, living in a great place together with my fiance, we're getting married in a little over a month, started my one company and it's going great, we're planning on starting a family after the wedding....so yeah, I'm way better off =)

For the posters who say their life is getting worse, hang in there. I know it's not much comfort but the chances are, it'll get better.

Now that I look back, I see that I was doing pretty good last March.Life was better, uni stuff was good, family stuff was good, grandma was good, I never cared about anybody or anything ,and above all, I never had anything to regret.

For what it's worth,it's a funny coincidence that tomorrow is the Persian new year.Wonder how this new year will end.

I'm just as happy as I was last year.

Hopefully will be better off living and working in Australia with my wife and 5month old daughter. Just sucks I have to leave my other two kids from a previous relationship back in the uk. Just a plane ride away I guess.

Much better off I'd say. Last year I was inundated with coursework in university, surrounded by people in the same boat with morale very low, and I was worrying over whether or not I'd be able to get a job over the summer and if not, if I could get one when I graduated. Now I'm doing the final project for my degree, a project I enjoy and don't have strict deadlines so I can spend some time not working. Not only that I have a job offer lined up for after I graduate.

Nope.

Life's still the same as ever: shit.

better is some aspects, worse in others.

Worse, the slow march towards my demise continues. What a waste of life.

Nope...still struggling mightily to keep going whilst slowing staggering backwards instead of moving forward.

about the same. still trying to figure out where i am going to go in life.

Good for you.

Gonna pin this to my mind.

No. Thanks Obama. :/

Wow what a awful list, just cements my decision not to buy a PS4 anytime soon.

You probably should. If you keep trying, there's no guarantee that your life will improve drastically but if you give up it definitely won't.
