It really isn't what you do or where you live that is as important as who you are and what you plan on doing.
Neither where you live or what you do for a living is as important as who you are. Why would it matter where you live, if you are able to assist the people you come in contact with. Can you tell me that Mother Theresa lived in great conditions? Her only concern about where she lived was if she was living near enough to the people in need.
In terms of what you do for a living, the key here is to not make your identity your job. I was personally at fault for that for many, many years. My work became my identity and that became a very unhealthy combination. What you do for a living should be something you enjoy, but also something that will allow you to help others one way or another. There is too much emphasis put on titles, that really is not deserving. Titles are cheap, what is more important is who you are as a person and then what you do with those talents you personally have.
You should allow your own abilities and talents to be used in whatever you do for a living. By doing that, you allow yourself to grow and you are using what gifts you have been given. You will feel more satisfied with yourself, with your work, and where you live. The key is to work with the talents you have and live within your means. If you live in a large luxurious home, but can't afford it, would you be happy? If you lived in a much smaller home, but had all the amenities you needed (notice I said needed, not wanted) and didn't have the worry about paying for everything, don't you believe that you would be much happier with your living conditions?
So, as you can probably guess, where you live or what you do for a living is not nearly as important as who you are and how you contribute to your community. If what you do and where you live compliments your contributions, then you are wealthy beyond all others.
