The years before the age of 10, which would be 1977-1987.

Mine were between 1992 and 1999. No, they are not identical, but they do tend to go together. And no, the prosperity had nothing to do with the Clinton administration. The company I worked for at the time closed and left the country while Clinton was still in office. In spite of our agreeing to forego regular semi-annual raises for a while, the company was taxed and regulated out of the U.S.

Definately NOT 1991 and 1992 in this range of years. Nope, definately not. Though things DID start looking up in 1992, finally.

Between 1989 - 1999. Not necessarily; but prosperity can be part of happiness.

I don't see prosperity and happiness going hand-in-hand: I think you need a certain minimum level of prosperity to sustain happiness, but beyond that they're two largely separate arenas with their own causes. My most prosperous years were late-90's to about 2002, when I had a successful business (now I'm an employee). But my happiest years started around 2006, despite the fact that the recent years have been some of the most difficult. I would say that happiness is mostly correlated with personal growth and being true to yourself. That may or may not correspond to prosperity. It may even make you poorer, i.e. if what you were doing to generate income didn't align with your values.

My best years were from 1985 to 1995 and I do not believe prosperity and happiness go hand in hand.

I was at my happiest when our funds were depleted. When there was a time my husband made more money, a lot more, I hardly saw him. When I went in the morning out to work, I met him at the doorstep, when he came back to have breakfast. If you equal prosperity with money I dont need that to be happy. For me it does not go hand in hand.

The happiest years of my life started on May of 2002.In terms of material happiness and prosperity they are insignificant.But in spiritual they are the most uplifting.Enquiry and thereafter gave me immense happiness. I do not own anything so there is a sense of total freedom.No one can take that away from me.I live by the day, if someone offers me anything I do not reject it but enjoy that.But I am not attached to it.I am not a slave to peace,happiness,sorrow or any other! So I am prosperous and happy completely. I own everything and am still a mendicant(Fakir)!Now I just fulfill the devotees wishes but also show them how it is a trap of karma.So today I distribute happiness and prosperity to all those who are only mine in devotion!+

My happiest time started in September 96. And they have continued. I had my first child then and was blessed with another in July 05. I think happiness alone makes you prosperous. Cheesy, I know, but it's true.
