Are you better off than 4 years ago

[Minnesota Mike]

Myself personally much better off. My 401K is about double what it was 4 years ago (well 3 1/2 years ago anyway). My House may be worth less but in my rural area the housing bubble never rose as high so it did not have as far to come down. I was able to refinance at record low interest rates. Inflation is virtually non existent. We ended one war and are drawing down forces in another. I don't have to worry about not having access to health care insurance if I were to lose my job. Things for me are far from perfect but they are much better than they were 4 years ago.

This question shouldn't be in the political board, should be in forum community or off-topic. Of course I am doing better, I moved out of a suburban sh**thole to go to college.

This is a classic political question, Ronald Reagan built his re-election campaign in 1984 around it, this is the perfect forum for it.
