I am happy with my life ... my job is 60% of what I'd like to be doing, which I consider to be OK ... to make my life better I'd do a better job of saving $$$ so retirement/alternative employment options come sooner rather than later. Overall though, I have a great family, good job, great house, great friends and I live in a beautiful community :)

Happy with life? Yes, I am glad that I am healthy and zero debt.

Happy with job and such? No, that's why I am making changes right now. New job and new place are on the way.

I am looking for a good paying job <for my experience and education>, a nice place to live, and hopefully, a nice gal to settle down with. Lolawiz, have any single sisters or friends? <wink>.

I hate what I am doing. I don't derive any satisfaction from it whatsoever.
It's too bad that I already finished my masters in engineering, so I'm sort of destined to do this for a while. :(

my job isn't what i would have picked for myself 5 years ago, but its easy enough and low-stress enough that I don't mind getting paid a lot of money to do it :) I see myself eventually changing careers.

Otherwise I'm quite happy with my life, - great GF, great friends, good health, kickass guild in warcraft :p

I don't understand why happiness with your job equates to happines in life. I'm happy in life - have a good relationship with my family, have great friends, a great boyfriend, and am in college.

Sure - I deliver pizzas, my job through school, but it's a decently entertaining job.

lol, wait til you end up in a job that you absolutely hate. There is nothing worse than spending 8-10 hours doing something you strongly dislike.

I should be happy, I have a lot of reasons to be happy, but for some reason I am not... :confused:

Maybe it's the winter blues or something, but I always seem to get in a funk this time of year.

I am very happy with my life.

I have a great job that I love. My grandfather always said if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life. He was a tool and die maker for over 30 years at the same place. I have to agree with him. I haven't dreaded waking up for work, staying late, or going in on a weekend. My workplace treats me well by paying me decently and giving me a flexible schedule.

I am happily married. My wife isn't controlling and lets me do what I want so long as I give her some time everyday.

In the evenings, I play hockey and computer games. I really enjoy these evening activities. :)

Life is very good. :)

If I could change anything, it would be to find a few more evening activities. Hockey and computer gaming is fun, but I want to do a few more physical activities like swimming. Maybe get the wife involved in some of the things I do, but that is very hard to do.

i'm happy. even if my job went to the crapper, i'd still have to be pretty happy, what with the wife & house and all the good fortune i have enjoyed.

i'm try to be a positive guy though. YMMV. the only time i really get sad is when computer experts won't help me in my TS threads. :( ;)
