Quality of Life Your quality of life is a measure of your personal and collective well-being (how happy you are.) Things that measure QOL include education, health, safety, and income. However, just because you have these DOES NOT necessarily mean you’ll be happier. In general, a person’s quality of life is related to their level of consumption.

Quality of Life & Consumerism Your QOL influences the choices you make as a consumer while the choices you make as a consumer can influence your QOL. They work BOTH ways. The choices you make as a consumer can also impact the QOL of others. For example, your consumer decisions can create employment for others (a positive), or hurt everyone’s enjoyment of the environment (a negative).
