HN really likes to talk money over everything, in spite of how money is merely a means to an end. I think a better metric would take into account overall health history, years paid into Social Security (as a proxy for income), and food/housing stability. Look at those three factors, and you can get a grip on how a person's life has gone in a way you can compare to others.
