2017- Stressed, single mom, dating men who had no direction, custody battles, commuting daily to a job that I didn't really like, day care debt

2020- Not stressed, Family Squad to help with child rearing, no commute, no school fees, no after care fees, no day care debt. Mulitple job offers, work that I enjoy. Great sex life with someone who has a goal in his life. I lost weight because I can work out whenever and however I want.
My investments have all increased by at least 25%.

So yes, life is better now for me as an individual. Getting older and learning how to do life better helps. I think political influences help with my home value and investments.

I don't see so much doom and gloom, even with COVID. I am so happy to work from home!
