First one You're Rich and Don't Know It by Alexander Green
Come to think about that, we have a forum cost us close to nothing, we are make long distance call almost nothing. We have a society that so diversified and balanced, it is not found before.

Saying ?I Love You? Is Worth £163,424, Study Says - Researchers determine the worth of a declaration of love - Softpedia by Steve Henry and David Alberts that try to value the stuff people treasure most using some money values
Although the health is not really controllable, to say "I Love you" is controllable. Don't forget to tell the people you love so you can spread the wealth.

First one You're Rich and Don't Know It by Alexander Green
Today you are richer than 99% of the people who ever walked the earth.

Yet despite all the negative news, our general lot is getting better, not worse. As Greg Easterbrook of the Brookings Institution recently wrote in The Wall Street Journal, "Living standards are the highest they have ever been, including the living standards for the middle class and the poor. All forms of pollution other than greenhouse gases are in decline; cancer, heart disease and stroke incidence are declining; crime is in a long-term cycle of significant decline, education levels are at all-time highs."
Our ancestors just a few generations removed would marvel at life today. In the first half of the 20th century, for instance, most people earned a subsistence living through long hours of backbreaking work in forestry, mining, farms or factories.
Today we work roughly half as many hours, physical toil has ended for most wage earners, and we have more purchasing power with far more leisure.
n the first half of our nation's history, most Americans lived and died within a few miles of where they were born. Nothing - neither people nor news - traveled faster than a horse. And, as far as we knew, nothing ever would. Today we have instantaneous global communication, 24-hour broadband Internet access and same-day travel to distant cities.
Formal discrimination against women and minorities has ended. There is mass home ownership, with central heat and air-conditioning - and endless labor-saving devices: stoves, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, cell phones and computers.
Medicine was almost non-existent 80 years ago. In 1927, for example, President Calvin Coolidge's sixteen-year old son Calvin Jr. developed a blister playing tennis without socks. It became infected. Five days later, he died. Before the advent of antibiotics, tragedies like this were routine.
Advances in drugs and technology have eliminated most of history's plagues. There has been a stunning reduction in infectious diseases.
"True, the federal government is a sprawling, metastasizing leviathan that needs to be beat back with a stick. But compare it to most governments in most countries down through the ages."
We complain about the rising cost of health care. But that's only because we live long enough to need more of it. The average American lifespan has almost doubled over the past century.
We have low-cost access to information, art and literature. We have almost every imaginable political and economic freedom.
True, the federal government is a sprawling, metastasizing leviathan that needs to be beat back with a stick. But compare it to most governments in most countries down through the ages.
In short, we enjoy economic and political freedoms that millions throughout history have risked theirs lives for. We live a long time, in comfortable circumstances, and enjoy goods and services in almost limitless supply. By almost any measure, we are living better than 99% of the people who have come before us.

Saying ?I Love You? Is Worth £163,424, Study Says - Researchers determine the worth of a declaration of love - Softpedia by Steve Henry and David Alberts that try to value the stuff people treasure most using some money values
As it turns out, hearing the words “I love you” ... translate its meaning into money, we’d be surprised to see that the three words actually come with a worth of £163,424, which is below the “price tag” of health, but over other experiences we enjoy throughout our lifetime such as laughter, going on family vacations and making love.
The poll was conducted on 1,000 respondents in the UK, who were asked to rate 50 of life’s events and experiences. Their answers indicate that the prices for which these go are as follows: £180,105 for good health, £163,424 for “I love you,” £154,849 for being in a stable relationship, £129,448 for living in a peaceful, beautiful place, £123,592 for having children, £105,210 for making love, £108,021 for laughing regularly, £91,759 for going on holiday and £53,660 for reading.
