Answer 4

In some ways, life gets better.  In some ways, not.  Whatever the age, life is never easy.  It's not supposed to be.  It's these trials and tribulations that put the good things in perspective so we don't take the good for granted.

There will always be good times and bad.  It's how you handle the bad that make the good all the more precious.

Answer 5

Not so sure it has got better but as I have aged I find it easier to deal with things. All comes from experience.

Answer 6

It depends on your outlook on life. I think as you start to understand how life works you learn to appreciate it more - the bad and the good - and for that it gets better. However, some people get jaded and become angry - never let that happen.  

Answer 7

I guess the old people who made a lot of income are enjoying life cuz at that stage, they cannot work hard.

Answer 8

I believe that no matter what age you are, you always wish you were older your younger. I don't think there is a special age where you're content. I'm in college and I miss being in high school and having my friends every day, not having to work and being careless and having fun. Today I have to attend college, go to work, deal with mean people all day, pay bills, pay parking tickets, pay insurance.  

Answer 9

No it gets worse. There are sooooo many bills to pay!

Stay in school!!!!

Get a degee.

Become a senator.

Become a president.

Live comfortably.

Answer 10

Answer 11

No. Life does get better at some point of your life. But, right now it hasen't but one day it will.

Answer 12

Life is like a roller coaster.  Just is.  When the writer Erma Bombeck died,  her husband wrote a little eulogy about her.  He said  he had lived w/her thru thick and thin for 40 yrs...and now it was time to take his wife w/the big brown eyes and put her in the roller coaster seat one last time.  He would strap her in and send her on her last roller coaster ride, she and I have had many...but at the end there she always  was sitting there next to me w/her big beautiful brown eyes waiting for the next  hill.  So, now it's time for her last ride.

I take that to mean we all have our troubles  and we all have our ecstatically happy times....until it's over.

So ride your roller coaster w/your eyes wide open and realize whatever part of the ride you are on....it will change soon.  And keep your eyes wide open.  Because even the hard times can be good if you have love.

Answer 13

My life is fabulous. I have this amazing husband, wonderful children and a great marriage. I am 29 but I don't feel a day over 19.

Sure there are a lot of things to pay for. But we have jobs that support our lifestyle. Were not rich but were comfortable.

We are in our prime right now. And were having a h**l of a good time doing it.

Yes, life does get so much better as you get older. Especially when you are secure, settled, comfortable in your own skin, don't have a lot of worries or things to figure out. When you have grown up, found the love of your life...when things are completely perfect.

My life has gotten better 10 fold since the day I graduated from high school.

Answer 14

idk, im only 13, but i know that things change and they are all hard and difficult...for example, being left out of the handball game in 3rd grade hurt the same as it does when u arent invited to the huge party for one of your good friends

Answer 15

I think so:) I hated life before and now I love it!

Answer 16

that's entirely up to you!

My life gets better every day and I'm 57!
