No, but for entirely personal reasons, though the stress of the last four years definitely hasn't helped at all.

Yes. I have a much better job now and I am making much more money. The virus hasn't affected me much since most shifted to online.

Voted yes. None of the reasons are really related to the government though. Finished my undergraduate programs in May and headed to grad school this fall (online). About to have my own apartment for the first time and own a car as well.

Unquestionably, yes.

I always strive to improve my life, and thus far, i've succeed in my opinion and i'm quite happy with things. Admittedly that has little to do with what political party is in power though.

You have a good attitude toward things. Thanks for spreading it around.

Since summer 2016, I took a job I wasn’t qualified for and had to take a big cut to get a job in another area. I slowly kept moving up until I am making the same as I did 4 years ago but in Jacksonville instead of Boston. On the whole, I think it’s a wash. Should have just gone back to grad school full time.

I’m glad I’m not eating out all of the time anymore. That’s probably part of growing up, I guess. Going from “I’m glad that I can have a burrito any time I want and have a fast car” to “let me see if I can actually show something for my time”.

I guess this will be the sixth Presidential election in a row when I've been better off financially, but my job has been made harder over the last four years in large part to Trump

Yes, income increased, had kids. I'm in a much better place than 2016.
