We all need a bit of money, right? We have to be able to get by in life and sadly money is required. However, for most of us, money is not what makes our life good. Oxfam Scotland have developed an exciting new tool to measure what is important to people and what enables them to live a good life. The HumanKind Index is aimed at identifying what is really valuable to the people of Scotland. You can check out the tool here.

I used the tool and you can see my results. The five factors that matter the most to me are Home Life, Relationships and Social Connections, Friends, Mental Health and Physical Health. The relationships here are of particular importance, as I feel that if I have my family, my friends and a stable home life then I can make the most of anything life throws at me.

I have the most beautiful, loving family and friends possible. I would walk over hot coals for every last one of them and that makes me happy. It drives me forward and gets me out of my bed everyday, not money or material objects.

My physical and mental health are of high value to me too. I suffered from depression as a teenager and I could never undervalue the ability to work through problems in my head. I'd never want to return to a point where I feel I cannot cope with life and I know I never will. Furthermore, given the physical pain I have been through with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, being healthy is vital - even more so now that my daughter is on her way.

I'm not saying the wider environment is not important to me, it just falls further down the line than my relationships and my health. Is this selfish? Yeah...I guess it is a bit. However, no matter what happens elsewhere, I know I have solid foundations and by default so does my daughter.

Go on....check out the HumanKind Index and tell people what matters to you.

Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your choices in the Humankind Index and why they are important to you.
