Under Capitalism, as practiced by GOP, how many of you are better off than 10 years ago?

Well ten years ago I was a high school senior and a dependent of my parents and living at home. Today I have a job although I decided to use some of my vacation days this week, I'm in graduate school (paying my way through) and I rent my own apartment, I'm building my credit and I'm up to date on my loans. I know many recent graduates can't find jobs but thankfully I have employment. I think I'm better off than I was 10 years ago clearly.
