How has your life progressed? [I Miss Childhood]

Has your overall quality of life and wellbeing increased or decreased since your childhood? And not just this year compared to when you were growing up. Consider the overall direction of your life so far if you can.

Consider things like:
Living situation/where you are living.
Population growth. more or less crowded and competition.
Access to food and water.
Access to money.
Health.
Friends and family.
Noise, light, and other pollution.
Access to the outdoors and nature.
Future outlook and hope.

Obviously you are going to have more responsibilites as an adult so consider whether or not to include that.
