I know that life would never be this easy, but I never thought it would be this hard. I could have it, I should have it, i might have it... Are you satisfied with the life you are living?

I dont think there are many people that are. I know I will be satisfied when I become a mommy. I will be super satisfied hopefully within the next 5 years as we are planning on moving abroad and fostering children. That will be my dream come true. I am proud of the life I am living now though.

I always want more too. I feel like my life isn't finished until each goal I have in mind is completed.

Life is hard,I can't afford to buy a house in city since the price is big and going up continuously.I have to rent a room,so I often feel self-abased,I can't summon up my courage to go after the nice girl.My salary is low,but the pressure is great.However,I will spare no effort to change this situation.

if the question is satisfied or not, surely no one is ever satisfied. everyone always have desires, and every person is not satisfied just when the desire is achieved. life to be lived not to seek satisfaction. if in life we are looking for just satisfaction would not be able to live in peace and happiness. because we will always strive to achieve satisfaction. while satisfaction was never able to perfect.

Hi, Hmmm.Tough one to disclose.I think you will not find any answer absolutely true for this discussion.As no body will share own privacy.Well,life is not easy but not too hard to live.There are many solutions for any problem in the life which makes our life hard. Take the thing easy and be positive.

For now, yes I am but there are times that as you grow older, you look for something way beyond your current living status. As you get a great job, well paid, your demands also get higher and your satisfaction level also increases. But as my dad told me, "life is what you make it" so better make the most out of your life. Satisfaction is within.

I doubt if anybody is ever satisfied with the life they are leading.i am not saying that we want to be another persons shoes, but, we always feel that certain things could have been different in life and we could lead life all over again and undo all the mistakes we made witrh the wisdom we have gained obver the years.I too would think so at times, but I am pretty well settled in life and have no regrets nor too many dissatisfactions - Have a great day :))

I am completely satisfied with my life right now but only because I am 55 years old and took steps that put me where I am. I worked, I worked and raised kids, I worked, raised kids and went to college. I also kept a close eye on my credit score and when my marriage failed I was able to go out on my own and buy my own home. Because I had continued with my education I was able to support myself and my children. Now, several years later, I am in a better place because both my current husband and I were able to sell our homes before the real estate crash and buy the two properties we bought outside of a small town in Florida where most of his family lives. The pace is slower here...people are nicer here...we are happy here.

I'm kind of fine with the life I'm having right now. Not so good, not so bad. It's not everyday that's like this to me though. I know life has its ups and downs but these ups and downs for me are very frequent lately and it takes time of getting used to.

I generally am not satisfied with the life I'm living. But I think this is a positive thing in the sense it makes me try to make my life better. It is not easy because I'm a negative person despite my efforts to be positive all the time. Being at a certain age, I can't help looking behind and saying to myself what wrong decision I took in the past. But this is a spur to try to act and take a better decision. Well,that's life! Then, when I complain about how bad is life and how unlucky I am, I think there are other people more unhappy and miserable than I am. Thinking this way, I feel I'm the lucky one. And there is always hope...

People has no satisfaction??? We always seek for other things in life and not satisfied to what we have but we are grateful of course. We are dreaming to be more successful, seeking different kind of things, upgrading what we have.

At this stage I am satisfied with most aspects of my life, I have a lovely partner and children and rent a lovely home. However I think in 5 years time if I was still at this level then I wouldn't be satisfied. By that time I want to be driving, I want to have my degree and I want to be taking steps to purchasing a home of our own. I know that I have the ability to do these things, I just have to work hard, so I will be disappointed in myself if I don't push myself to succeed.
