You can't measure everything just with numbers, as gamemod said you need to live here to get it. Some of us get enough money to go to a nice university and have 3 computers at home, but some others simply can't eat twice a day. This disparity is common here, and it's like playing dice: you never know what will happen to you in the years to come.
I won't start with politics (though, I have my own opinions), I don't want to have a fight here...
Thanks for worrying, Hell_bound
