Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.
Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don't hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.
There's still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.
