I scored way lower than I feel. Why is it bad that I'm not living in the same country as I was born in. As to TV's and Telephones in my room? My kids never even had that, let a lone a computer. (But we all have one of our own) I guess it's a matter of what you feel is privilige.
Score 55. There are at LOT of assumptions in the test, e.g., consider New York City, and that rental is much more common there I think than ownership. Also, there are people who prefer to rent rather than own.... and those who chose to rent five years ago rather than own, are probably feeling somewhat smug today.... Few New York City residents have cars, a car in Manhattan is generally an expensive inconvenience for lots of people who live there.
I am working on a filk inspired by the recent Sons of Maxwell complaint. Hint: I mentally replaced flying guitars with flying turtles named Myrtle. :-) I also added a comment about how concern over your luggage is a wonderful distraction from fear of flying, right? :-)

Hehe. 19. But I consider myself to be relatively well-off and extremely lucky. Okay, I'm sitting in Kazakhstan, so by comparison with the folks in the houses I can see out my window...
Outside of Kazakhstan, at least once or twice a week. Inside of Kazakhstan, none. I don't think they found the premise of the film amusing. I don't find it funny. Pathetic, ignorant, yes. But not humourous.

Why, for instance, is having a bank loan seen as a positive?
Much of it is designed for the twentysomething generation, and this skews the answers too.
And, wot no key? No 'minus figures = you're definitely underprivileged, 0-20 = you had it tough but not that tough'... or whatever.

For example: many if not most of us were in our twenties before personal computers became available.
