Here's a fun online test to find out how happy and prosperous you are. It was developed by the Legatum Institute at M.I.T, so it is a little more sophisticated than some other similar questionnaires-although the institute has a decided libertarian, free market orientation.

They also have an interesting set of country by country indices of relative prosperity, based on the premise that the most prosperous nations in the world are not necessarily those that have only a high GDP, but are those that also have happy, healthy, and free citizens. http://www.prosperity.com/default.aspx

" most of the girls down here, lie as a self defense mechanism and to not have to face the truth, thinking most men couldn't accept them knowing the whole truth. Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

76% I need to move out to the countryside, go to church, get in an exclusive relationship and take my work more seriously.

That test is a waste of time.

Prosperity Restrainers :

You are living in a foreign country.

You are between 35 and 44 years old.

You are male. :shock:
