Happiness 9, health 9, relationships 3, financial success 6, creative expressiveness 8, social fulfillment 6, experiences/ sophistication 4, education 4, Overall I would give myself a 7. I like this\*. Happiness 7 Health 4 Relationships 2 Financial success 6 Creative expressiveness 3 Social fulfillment 0 Experiences/sophistication 2 Education 5 \*With caveats: I give no weight to Experiences/sophistication and Education, and only half-weight to Health and Financial Success. So, it looks like my aggregate adjusted score is 17 out of 50 or 3.4 out of 10. Huh. I guess I should be more depressed than I am. ---

It’s been said that two things are necessary in life: Health, Money and Love – Any two will make up for a shortfall in the third. I have all three, at the moment. I have more money than I will ever need for security, I have amazingly good health for my age, and I have lately repaired any deficiency in love. I was born with excellent genes, white, under the economic umbrella of American opportunity, and a Mensa+ IQ, and avoided any serious accidents or mistakes. I used my life doing things I chose as fulfilling (and got away with them), and have wonderful memories and few regrets. So for a person my age (79), I’d say I am pretty close to ten territory. ---

Hmmm, 4 kids, one of which is a fosterling, have achieved every milestone I envisioned as a youth, some things could be better, but they could also be worse, sooo, I’d have to say squoval, or it could be trimangle, I’m not sure cause I can’t really see the board that we’re playing the game on, light isn’t too good in here. Did I win? As a side note, the Mrs. says the answer to the OP is “the duck says MOO!” ---
