Are you contented?

Content =fat /lazy and stopped giving a fuck in my opinion.
I don’t agree mind.
you can be happy without the hassle and stress.
I see people at work, coming in, doing their bit very well but not interested in progressing, happy with their family set up, not looking for a bigger house/ car and still put in a shift. But they do work to live. That doesn’t make them lazy mind.
 


I meet people from all walks of life in my job and when out and about . Some are just generally happy people who seem to want for nothing and some are just never happy with their lot.
Are you happy with your lot? If not, what are you doing about it?
( it’s not just a financial thing but I do understand that this could be a factor).
Yes.

Yes and no, I’ve always been restless and pushed for more for myself so I bring it on myself mainly.

Personally things are good though so halfy half isn’t bad.

I was being a bit mischievous tbh and
It all stems back to when our lasses mar said our lass looked”content” :lol:

what she was meaning was she was getting a bit portly and needed to tidy herself up.She never said it but I did after I stopped pissing myself laughing.

“Content” is now an insult in our house.
 
I'm more content than i've ever been. Retirement has a large part to play in that. I think i'm mellowing. I can now block our piss poor results out to the extent that they don't spoil my days. I wasn't always like that.
Haven’t let the football bother me (well not as much) in ages..been eating a bit better..getting to the gym..retired and going to make the best of it.
 
Don’t have to go to work
Got food to eat roof over my head comfy bed and enough stuff and gadgets
I am blessed that my health issues are under control but I am always aware that I am only one step away from total physical uselessness but I thank God that scenario is. Kept at bay but like everyone we in reality just live one day at a. time and be thankful for great family ,neighbours and friends .

I have health concerns about family members but my key to life is not to be envious of what others may have because being envious of others stuff and materials doesn’t add any qualities to ones own life
So yes I am thankful every day the for the grace that the sun rises for me and I can be thankful
 
Pay the mortgage off next year, could do it this year with savings. House prices here are unreal.
Love the village and house we live in.

Work stressful and will give it 4 years maximum then retire.
Swindon certainly don’t help, absolutely shite football club however as soon as this bastard leaves we are only going one way and that is upwards.

For those that have retired early well done you.
As soon as I finish work everything will be perfect.
Not really tbh. Got three kids and a wife (no) so its utter chaos constantly 🤣

Young kids not easy, older kids not much better :)
Without doubt before kids life was simpler but you wouldn’t change it.

Yeah true. Once the kids either get old enough that you never see them as they are asleep or in their rooms or have left home..i'll be lost🤣
