quality of life vs standard of life and knowing the difference

I want an ipad since it would be nice to have one, eh!!

I have a mac and iphone 3 both more than six years and i want to have new one of both and i can buy them.

I want to watch the latest movie in my LED when the dvd version comes out and i can buy both led tv and a blue ray player

I do not want to wash my dishes and i would buy a dishwasher

Can i have the house of my dreams built and yes i can and i can do all the above, no problems,  money does not seem to be an issue!!!

This is the standard of life i desire and i work hard to reach there and earn my dreams!!!

But this is not the same as quality of life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can i walk up stairs without pain and feeling breathless

can i walk along the beautiful beach for half an hour and enjoy the nature

can i wash my own back by reaching without having pain

can i go and play a game of tennis

can i bend down to pick up my child without my back hurting

this is what we are talking about, the quality of life

next time we meet, talk about our quality of life and not the standard of life.

Warm regards
