are you doing better or worse now financially than you were, say 7 years ago?

[pirate44]

try to be honest and as non-partisan as possible, as far as how much taxes you pay and how much you make (if you are one of the few that has a job) are you better off now than you were 7 years ago?

Well you know I was referring more towards where we were in the beginning goofball. And we met in 2000, so shaddup!

7 years ago I was just about to graduate the 8th grade!!

I dont think people like to admit they are worse off and will make excuses in their head to why they are "better off" to make themselves feel better

[Adidas410s]

I'm making more money...but also paying more in taxes. Then again...7 years ago I was making $6/hr working 15-20 hrs/wk! ;) Now if I can just get the girl to finish law school...get a job...and work 70+ hrs/wk...I can be retired in 7 years! :evillol::evillol::evillol:

Doing better as I was only a high school senior then, but damn I have a lot of bills. :mad:

[smustangs]

7 years ago i was in 9 grade now I am nearly done w/ school so a lot better off.

[LH Panther Mom]

Honestly....I am making more money. BUT......until the college kid graduates, I can't say that I'm better off. Hopefully, he will be finished before it's time for the next one. :(

[crzyjournalist03]

Considering that seven years ago I was in high school without a job or an allowance, I'm better off now!!!

[big daddy russ]

I'm worse off, but by my own choosing. I went back to college 3.5 years ago and have been scraping by any way possible ever since.

[piratebg]

Seven years a ago I was a part-time carryout at HEB making $5.65/hr. Now I have a wife, three kids, and a house and I'm just peachy. :)

[thatsminty]
