It is widely believed that the residents living in developed countries do not have a strong sense of well-being despite high income. That will likely occur globally in the future, and there are a host of reasons behind this phenomenon.
To begin with, receiving a high salary means that people have to sacrifice other life aspects. This is because their time a day is mainly devoted to work, thereby leading to the neglect of other activities. Exorbitant workloads can disrupt the daily routine, since people have to work more to earn as much money as they can. However, concentrating overly on work, they have to postpone the time dedicated to themselves such as recreational activities. As a result, mental illness like stress or even psychological disorder will arise, as people incur intensive workload for a long time. If there is no effective remedy, the boredom and fatigue will abysmally stifle citizens’ physical and mental health, therefore the quality of life will be reduced.
A resembling pattern will probably be replicated in a worldwide scale because of the rising cost in all markets. The reason is that the world population will experience a drastic increase from this decade onwards. As a result, the properties will be scarcer and scarcer, directly ascending the housing prices. People have to concern more about how to pay rent in advance or repay all the loans. Therefore, they cannot maintain a good life quality, which simultaneously decreases the life satisfaction.
In conclusion, there is a strong correlation between life conditions and people’s well-being.
