$--Yes.
Health --Kinda, just have to work to fight the aging process.
Relationship -- Yes. Spouse and I are too old and tired to nag each other, and the nest is empty. It's party time again...

No much worse off!
Downsized after 20 years - in a down economical area (4 yrs ago) Commission only jobs available for 3 yrs (not much money there) Have a full-time job now w/ good benefits but lousy pay so barely getting by. Pay is less by more than 1/2 what it was.
Divorced - raising two children
No other relationship at this point
BUT YET...we have our health, our family, and are optimistic for the new year far as jobs and relationships.

Good question. I'm much better off. I finally finished my B.A. after taking a couple of decades. I've chosen to enjoy my single-hood instead of regret it, now I have raised the bar and I don't ever want to work hard to keep another loser who steals money from me and cheats with other women. I can do better. As far as money, not yet, but it's coming. I still have weight to lose but I have now found some things that help keep me on track. One of the biggest things is 5 years ago I was living in an icky state and now I'm back home. I am older (sigh) and a bit wiser (grin).
Thanks for asking!

Moneywise - oh yeah.
Healthwise - maybe; I crashed my bicycle last summer and have a lingering injury. Otherwise, no major complaints.
Relationships - I'm married to the love of my life and best friend, going on 16 years; every year is better.

Personally, Yes, yes, yes..but there's always the other things that make you unsure..The state of our country and the world aren't big confidence builders for our future. There's Iraq, global warming, Violence that is escalating close to home and world wide and we're not punishing the criminals sufficiently to make others think twice before committing crimes..

Never compare , never worry, "do your duty without expecting any results " Bhagavad Gita says the results will automatically come and that to with fullest satisfaction. Anticipation and comparing causes worry, tension, jealousy etc, etc. I am always happy taking whatever comes is good for me. Read Bhagavad Gita to get peace of mind.
