I'm curious, readers of BG forums.
I have been asking friends and co-workers as of late their responses to three questions. Here and there I would add a why and they mostly couldn't answer. I guess it is to be expected because these questions can open up a closed wound or two. Either way, I am interested to know the answers of a similar but varying group of people from around the world.
1) How would you rate your self-esteem? Do you look highly upon yourself and low upon others (cocky), are you content with where you are and what you are doing in life (high to mid), or do you find yourself constantly looking at the floor, avoiding crowds, etc? Why?
2) How do you rate your income? Do you feel like you're rich, well off, just making it, or poor? Take into account, I do not want you to compare yourself with the United States' notion of what's poor or rich. You could be making 30 k a year, live in a low cost of living area, and still be well off but "poor" in the eyes of others. So in your opinion, where do you stand?
