I just have friends, a college degree, and family, but soon I’d like to have a job and a car in the near future.
I do not feel that having more achievements in life will make you happier though. You can have it all and be quite miserable.

Wow… I am surprised! On Reddit there are so many high functioning people. I asked if anyone worked and got almost 20 replies!

Yes, I own a used piano and I have a new keyboard. I’m in the process of buying a portable roll up piano.
And I own a cat too. (Or, he owns me).

I feel like I’m missing out on so much all I have is a car and myself. I have some internet friends too though at least!

I think I am lucky if compared to some other members here, because I own a flat, a car, have a loving husband and a child, a few good friends, 3 university degrees. I’m trying to get myself self-employed in the near future just depending on how much I have improved from chronic fatigue and restlessness.

I decided long ago not to have any children because they might inherit schizophrenia and I never wanted to put anyone through that. I do work, drive, rent an apartment and work.

I clicked other because I have pets and I think that’s the equivalent to having children. Except less shitty.

I have 3 out of 10 life markers. I’m contempt with my life knowing how some other of my family members lives are. Compared to them, my life is similar to their life markers.
