I give you a B- in my books. Which is good but room for improvement =p. You could easily be an A minus once you get a GF/wife , get out of debt and and better job . But its hard to come up with a final grade. Everyone should give the same 10 details to keep marks consistent. Also everyone has a different idea of an good life =p. As long as everyone is happy thats all that counts.

As for me. If i follow your details.

1. 27
2. Fulltime freelancer 500$US + per day
3. Married
4. Graduated school nearly 6 years ago
5. No debt
6. 5'11 , full head of hair
7. Healthy , 172 pounds
8. Living in 1bdroom apt
9. No car
10. From high middle class family

I'm extremely happy but things could always be better. I'd like to travel more and have personal goals I'd like to achieve before Im too old =p

"Freelancing" is a style of working, not a type of job. What field exactly do you "freelance" in that you get paid $500 a day? Do you mean you teach private ESL lessons full-time?

Age? Income? Marital status? Height & weight? Looks? Have a car or not? Economic/social class?

These as things relevant to rating one's own life?!?! How SHALLOW is that?

Taking the standards used by potential mother-in-laws and internalizing them. Wow. Just, wow.

Opps should have been more specific.
Nah I dont teach or have anything to do with ESL.
I'm a freelance artist in the entertainment industry. Essentially i work on cartoons all day. Freelancing on Commercials and feature film movies mostly. My wife is korean and I'm planning to move to korea in the near future which is why i hang out around here.

My salary is typically 500$ US a day although it does go up depending on the project and how well i negotiate my rate but 500 is an average i would say. I sometimes work on 2 projects at once meaning 2x the pay. Also, You have to understand that I dont work EVERY SINGLE DAY. Sometimes i have to work weekends sometimes i only work 3 days a week. Soo My yearly salary is up and down every year depending on how much work i get ... I visit korea for 1 month + every year soo thats a full month of no pay... But i usually plan it during down times in the industry... so in the end i do earn a pretty decent yearly salary However i do pay a crap load of taxes here in canada and it sucks =p...
