By what metrics? Savings? Mean annual income? Lifestyle? Peace of mind? Spousal trust? Family relationship quality and/or quantity? Leisure time? Mental and/or physical health? Respect of others? Number of mortal enemies?
Yes my life is astronomically better. I am not an anxious basket case like my mom. Nor an unmitigated narcissist like my father. My friends and family truly like me. I own my house in my own name along with my wife. I have no mortal enemies at all.
