Has your life improved in the past 10 years?

I've gotten my shit together and subsequently lost everything multiple times in that time period

>>82146560 (OP)
Fuck I wish I was younger and had friends

>>82146560 (OP)
I've got a gf now, lots of money, a fun occupation and I get to travel and fuck around all the time so I'm doing good. I was in high school 10 years ago

Quite a bit yeah. The dissatisfaction comes from the I'm good enough to be something else part.

>Has your life improved in the past 10 years?
Everything was headed in a positive direction until the COVID scam

>>82146560 (OP)
arguably

im slightly better at guitar but no where near enough to justify ten years of practice.

>>82146560 (OP)
No. It's actually gotten a lot worse.

on paper everything is 500% better but im still a raging mentally ill faggot who hates everything so it still sucks in my perception

>>82146560 (OP)
I am in a much better position than I was ten years ago
>traveled the world
>moved out of my parents home
>making huge strides in my field
>amassing wealth
>in the best shape of my life
>got my language degree
>lost my virginity

Fuck yeah man

It hits me like a truck that Fallout 4 is 10 years old.

>>82146560 (OP)
No. Absolutely fucking not. I wish I was dead already.

>>82146560 (OP)
I have more disposable income so technically yes

>>82146560 (OP)
Its a mixed bag
the good
>good career making 6 figures (not like it fucking matters since the money printer went BRRRRR)
>got to travel abroad
>got in, but later fell out of shape, trying to get back to it
>10K in student loans, but money printer and career are making it into a mostly non-issue
>got back in contact with my sister on my mother's side and she is doing surprisingly well despite the shit she endured in childhood
the bad
>3 years away from wizard status
>dad revealed he has low T 2 or so years ago and that shit is 99% genetic so yay
>balding has gone WARP SPEED these last 6 months, its freaking me out and I don't know why
>was a dumbass and bought a shitheap of a car, its fast and fun to drive but gives me endless problems and is occasionally a danger to myself and others. Want to get something else but just can't bring myself to spend the money
>still don't have any investments outside of 401k as I am too chickenshit to risk it

I'll give a 6/10, could be better but could also be heinously worse.

>>82146560 (OP)
In some ways yes, in other ways, no, it got a whole lot fucking worse

>>82147272
How the fuck do you make 6 figures and not have a better lot in life? Are you pissing it away gambling or something? Are you trying to live in the richfag area of the city where your $100,000 just doesn't cut it?

>>82147368
I only started this 6 figure job like 3 months ago
That and I live in denver (not city proper, but still) taxes are stupid fucking high
and inb4
>just move
its not remote.
Maybe things will get even better later on but things are lukewarm rn

>>82147272
Doing better than most
>3 years away from wizard status
I lost mine at 29, you can do it dude.
>still don't have any investments outside of 401k as I am too chickenshit to risk it
save then invest.

>>82147428
>save then invest
I know, but I can't help but feel like I want to scream when I see some 21 yo yolo their life savings on meme stock and turn it into a quarter million dollars
I know they are the outlier but truly that and e thots being gazillionaries plague my mind.
It genuinely made me contemplate an hero many moons ago.

>>82147464
the thing is they are morons and will blow it all, you won't. Most of the e-thots are back to square one in a couple of years.

>>82147397
lul I'm thinking of moving to the denver area because it would be cheaper for me to live in fucking boulder than my current asshole state and I'm not even in fucking caliwali

>>82146560 (OP)
No, it gotten worse
