I'm lucky I guess. Great wife, great kids, good friends and family I can rely on if needed, healthy, reasonably well off.
I was seriously ill a few years ago but survived it and am now healthier than I ever was.
Life is good.

Always putting on jackets / jeans and finding money I forgot about in the pockets, usually notes ... and always at the most convenient times.

Lucky or extremely forgetful? You decide

The only really lucky thing (so far) was winning myself and the gf a holiday from a Cadburys' wrapper. Was about to toss it in the bin before someone pointed out to check it.

Also, found a diamond ring just yesterday... quite a good one at that.
Unlucky in a sense as I just bought an engagement ring for herself last week ... I would have (and still did) hand it into lost and found though.

I saw a poster up looking for a lost diamond ring last week on South Frederick Street!

A year later his parents gave him their huge house for free because they wanted something smaller. So he now pays the mortgage on their 2 bed bungalow while he lives for free in their 4 bed mansion. Actually he doesn't pay anything, he was left a house in Wexford by his Aunt so he uses the rent off that to pay for his parents mortgage.

He's not very social so I always thought "well he never goes out enough to meet any girls so maybe he'll always be single". Well there was a friend of a friend who had someone over from America in Sept '01, the 9/11 thing happened and her flight was grounded so his parents offered to put her up until she could go home. She ended up living with him for a month, they are now married with 2 kids.

He is also one of the few people who managed to get a job a week after he finished college, and he was far from top of his class. The job he works in allows him to show up anytime up till 10am and is only a 5 minute bike ride down the road from his mansion.

I don't know this guy, but I now hate him.

I know a girl who would be in a similar sort of position and I have to say she quibbles over stupid things, acts spoiled and in life generally isn't as happy as you think she would be and I wouldn't want to be her (well the male equivalent).

It doesn't matter how lucky you are you are going to have your own problems so I just go and enjoy my lot and don't worry about how lucky I think other people are.

My friend is constantly getting something for nothing. His brother in law gave him a minolta camera, really nice one too, and the following week later someone randomly offered him darkroom equipment for free. I asked him, but sure how are you going to use that? Apparently his uncle used to do photography and he's going to sort out a darkroom for him, set it up et al. Just one example out of a thousand. Lucky bastid.

EDIT funnily enough I was given darkroom equipment the other week after giving out about my friend's good luck. Random.

I hope he's kind to children and small animals, gives buckets of cash to worthy causes & thanks his lucky stars every day.

Cos if he's an obnoxious fecker karma is gonna give him an excruciating case of festering gonads for yin and yang's sake.
