Could someone please clarify this sentence for me, thanks.

I ain't so sure I wasn't better off in the old days.

This person expresses doubt and thinks he may have been better off (emotionally? financially?) in the old days.

Thanks, Ms. Sue:-)

You're welcome, Sara.

Certainly! The sentence you provided, "I ain't so sure I wasn't better off in the old days," is written in colloquial English and can be a bit confusing. Here's a breakdown of its meaning:

"I ain't" is a contraction of "I am not," where "ain't" is a slang term commonly used in informal speech.

"So sure" means not being completely certain or having doubts.

"I wasn't better off" implies that the speaker believes they were not in a better situation or condition before.

"In the old days" refers to a previous time period, often associated with nostalgia or a sense of longing for the past.

To summarize the sentence's meaning, the speaker is expressing their uncertainty about whether they were in a better situation or condition during the past compared to their present circumstances.
