What is an average life?

Subjective — We all view things differently and an average life may be above average for some, just as what some may deem above average will be less so for others.

What are the criteria for judging whether a life is average?

There are many things that can be judged, for example, whether we are a good mother, father, brother, or sister. Whether we contribute to society by giving time to charities, sports clubs, or the Church. All these things are equally important and make up a life. However, probably the easiest one to judge and what most people think of is how financially free we are.

Now remember, this is not the only way to judge our lives and of course, having an abundance of money definitely does not guarantee happiness.

However, what it does do is give us options and then it is down to us to make the decisions we need to build a successful life.

Let us not forget, many but not all the previously noted areas of life can be improved by the presence of a comfortable financial situation. It is certainly easier to contribute to charities, the Church or the running of a sports club if one has a healthy financial situation.
