Tennesseer, as you can tell I said "satisfied" not "very satisfied" in my thread. I find "very satisfied" to be a huge idea for everyone to capture as their actual stayus where as "satisfied" is an easier description to wrap our minds around. I was not trying to dodge all the stats, but I know everyone has a good reference point for one, but not for the other choice...... In my and my wife's case we are "satisfied". As we age, and have more health issues, it is hard to categorize us as very satisfied. Financially we are good, but again, who doesn't want to be very very satisfied financially? Then again at our age we worry more about the gkids and hooping they get their act together based on our desires, lol. I imagine middle aged parents have their qualms about the categories as well as the young, based on their more immediate pressing needs or desires.

VB: In your OP, you wrote: "Remember this is personal life situation and not your political feelings." Politics very much had to do with a person's level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction in the poll results.

I know what the article said, but if it were really true, this board must be overwhelmingly very satisfied by the age demographics here, and we all know 80% of the posters here are mad as hell here and not going to take it anymore and the % of the conservatives represented on the board are not very happy either/

My question for posters is based on your own perspective, how do you describe your perception in life today? Mine is "satisfied".

A couple of posters based on their age define the rest of the country in their age group.

News Flash 80% of the country hates Trump. Heads so far up their own ass they can't see straight

I am satisfied with where we are in life. Financially we are pretty well off. Physically I'm addressing my back issues as much as I can. I may not ever move easily again, but I can adjust to that given time.

answer to question in OP = no. I am a restless soul. This. I have a good life, so I'm not complaining. But I am not a person generally prone to feeling content with the status quo.

My question for posters is based on your own perspective, how do you describe your perception in life today? Mine is "satisfied". So is your theory that dems are less satisfied with their lives due to the current POTUS?
I think those two things rarely coincide. It's possible to be deeply unhappy with our crappy politics while at the same time being very satisfied with your perception in life (as I am).

How much is enough?
More
I always live in a state of not being satisfied and wanting more and setting new goals.
I did grade 2018 as a big success.

I'm satisfied with our situation, just frustrated that I'm VERY limited at present since I'm recovering from surgery.
Now, I were to win one of the big lotteries, I could make a lot of others either satisfied or very unsatisfied….depending on their perception of how I would share. And I'd leave town too if I won a big one...destination UNDISCLOSED!!!
