I find your choice of categories we can reply to very limited and far from representing 'quality of life' as you call it.

Maybe I should rename the thread so that what really matters is the "Are you happy part" and everything else is a bonus but I don't think that would really make a thread.

Well, why have you only selected the 'american dream' archetype as a meaning to gauge happiness?

Because we america

Feel free to truly express your quality of life, I just ask that you answer the "Are you happy" question.

I dunno man, my happiness varies from day to day, but overall I am fairly happy.
