I would say for me, at the moment, Good. Things can change quickly. The question becomes the basis for self assessment. So for lack of better criteria I will go with Maslow. That being said, IMHO attainment of each of these levels is not a total hierarchy of achievement as Maslow implies. For example, one could attain even some level of self-actualization and not have a sense of love and belonging that is more attainable in simpler tribal societies and cultures.
I voted 'unsatisfactory', although I'm "better off" than at least 80% - 90% of other Americans, if viewed only from a financial perspective. Because I'm an old, retired guy, I can easily remember when the whole country was a much (MUCH) better place to live in, in so many ways... I could sit here and type for hours telling the 'what' and 'why' of that, but nobody cares -- and it's too late now for us anyway. How can any American be 'satisfied' with THAT...? Cut to the 'chase' -- China and Russia, in a de facto 'cooperation' with the EU and much of the Middle East, will essentially boot the U. S. out of everything of any importance throughout the entire Eastern Hemisphere in the next ten years. Even sooner than that, America will suffer severe economic disruption as the idiocy of 'fraud-balloon' fiscal policies, as promulgated by our wonderous central bank -- the "Fed" -- fall apart in a chaotic Götterdämmerung of insurmountable national debt. Again, how can any American be 'satisfied' with THAT...? Advice? Enjoy what you can of the next ten years, because the 'satisfaction' coefficient may, uh, dwindle somewhat rapidly after that. If you're a 'twenty-something', consider learning to read and write in either Russian, or Mandarin Chinese. And if you're over forty, just forget about it, because by the time you're over fifty, NOBODY wants or needs you anymore -- and you'd better have enough money saved by then to provide for your basic needs for the rest of your diminished life. Re-read George Orwell's masterpiece, "1984" to get a clearer picture of what's coming at us Americans -- like a runaway freight train!
Things couldn't be better. I was able to comfortably retire in 1989. My wife and I now live in a beautiful retirement home. I'll have my 87th birthday this Friday. If I knew I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself.
It's great having enough money for what you need and want, but as you indicate, health issues increase as you get older. As a fellow, old retired guy, I know what you mean!
Excellent here. Still working at something I love at 67. Have enough for a few toys like an airplane. Not rich but not poor which I have been in my past.
I am one of the youngest and most arrogant people here. I would not go to TikToc with many toxic teenagers there.
