Quality of life
Quality of life is a subjective assessment of one's own situation, functioning and satisfaction in the context of values, goals and living conditions.
Definition
WHO defines quality of life as the perception of one's position in life in the context of culture, value system, goals, expectations and concerns. It includes health, relationships, environment, meaning and ability to act. It's not about mood or comfort, it's about a broader assessment of life.

Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to measure quality of life solely in terms of money or productivity. It is also a mistake to ignore your own values and compare yourself with someone else's life model.
