How does money interesect with the quality of life for us individually and collectively? How can our financial resources be stewarded in such a way to maximize "quality of life" for all?
Calvert has made an effort to quantify "quality of life" for national well being through - Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators.

"The Calvert-Henderson Quality of Life Indicators are a contribution to the worldwide effort to develop comprehensive statistics of national well-being that go beyond traditional macroeconomic indicators. A systems approach is used to illustrate the dynamic state of our social, economic and environmental quality of life. The dimensions of life examined include: education, employment, energy, environment, health, human rights, income, infrastructure, national security, public safety, re-creation and shelter."
For the well being of individuals, a friend of mine has created the "Wellnes Inventory"

The Wellness Inventory is a pioneering "whole person" wellness program designed to help one to gain personal insight into their state of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The program, developed by HealthWorld Online and wellness pioneer John W.
