In most of the world, 'quality of life' equates to "Did you survive today?". In the U.S., it is "How much money did you make today?"

Yeah, Europe (even Eastern and Southern Europe), Japan and the U.S. have it pretty good.
I'd say quality of life was pretty high in Qatar too.

Economics is part of it, but also security, freedom of speech and association, and various levels of "sociality."  Where there is security, people can be pretty happy with less than 10,000 a year.
