Saturday Six #405

Politicians love to ask if you think your life is in better shape now than it was four years earlier. (Ironically, to score political points, they’re hoping you’re in worse shape. Seems contrary to what a politician should want for his potential constituents, right?)

Sometimes, it’s interesting to ask if your life is significantly better than that of your parents. Chances are that it is. At least, I hope that it is.

Be sure to check back this week and click on the links of bloggers who play along in the comments below! It’s a great way to find blogs you may not have visited and keep the conversation going!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog… But don’t forget to leave a link to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. Considering your childhood, do you feel you had it easier or tougher than your parents did when they were children?

2. Considering your life now, at your current age, how does yours compare to what you know about your parents when they were your age?

3. What do you miss today most about your childhood?

4. What percentage of the time during your childhood did you get what you asked for (within reason)?

5. What percentage of the time do you end up getting what you want today (within reason)?

6. Take the quiz: Are You Spoiled?

If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.
