to me, all of the above is superficial and useless barometers of wealth



the best measure of wealth, is GDP per capita



look at singapore. i have yet to see any unhappy people in singapore. all of them, are super happy. Last time i met analyst from Singapore, this is what he said "im not too worried about singapore, sure our trains breaks down sometimes, and its so crowded here, but we SURE HAVE HIGH GDP PER CAPITA! and im so excited."

Why should we measure wealth based on how many kids you can afford, how big your house is, how often you can eat at restaurants, how much ipads a family can buy, how many cars a family can have, how many property someone can have, quality of food and abundance of it one can eat?to me, all of the above is superficial and useless barometers of wealthlook at singapore. i have yet to see any unhappy people in singapore. all of them, are super happy.
