5. I'm actually doing better than I was in recent months and years.
But I know many others are having problems, and I'm acutely aware that my situation could change for the worse at any moment.

6. Doing better now
than in the last few years, mainly to making some changes, making better decisions.
But, like mutley says, could change at any time.
And the country as a whole IMHO is in deep doodoo.

9. Purely imaginary. I just like to whine.
Gas really costs only $.25 a gallon, just like it did in 1968.
