If you are or not explain in what way.
This time 3 years ago I was a senior in high school, less than a month away from graduating.......damn can't believe it's been that long.
After a bit of turbulence(to say the ****ing least) I'm in college, and closer to moving out on my own than not.
So yeah I'd say I'm better off.
Putting aside my bias which some people can't do I will say no.
Hussein Obama and his administration froze all COLA raises so I could not keep up with inflation......Food prices at the grocery store have at least tripled.........Gas prices have doubled.........There is total Cayous in the middle ea
Definitely. I'm finishing up grad school, moved in to a bigger home (for less money than I was paying before), and have more money in the bank with fewer bills to pay. I'd say that I'm the best off I've been in the last 5 years. Everything was totally ****ed 4 years ago, though.
Three years ago is not long at all, its like yesterday.This time 3 years ago I was a senior in high school, less than a month away from graduating.......damn can't believe it's been that long.

oh, so this is just another bash-Obama thread.
btw, what does "cayous" in the Middle East have to do with how you personally are doing?
Three years ago is not long at all, its like yesterday.
fact is, almost all of my friends are better off today than they were 3 years ago.
some got married, some bought a new house, some have kids, some moved, some got a better job.
yep, pretty much everyone I know, is better off.
My stock portforlio is about where it was 3 years ago so I have only hold my own there..........
There have been millions opf foreclosures on homes but of course none of them affected your friends............All of your friends did well on the maket huh..........Why do I bother responding to your posts.......
I like how you mention finish grad school and the house (congrats on both of those), but not the kid.

Doing much better. My business is taking off and expanding quite nicely. Energy prices are down in my area which makes my job a whole lot easier. I am about to have my daughter heading to college next year and a whole crap load of bills are about to be paid off in the next 4 months. That will be saving me about 2000.00 a month going out. I wouldn't say anything either of the last two admin. have done would have effected my all that much. I live well below my means and it is paying off in spades. I am about to be able to start putting a bunch of money in the bank. Looking to buy a new home in a new state next summer. Giving my current home to the daughter for a grad present.
My hope is that real soon everyone is going to be getting back on track.
