But in other ways things are easier these days, such as finding information of various kinds on the Internet and getting large low-interest loans (unless your credit history is dodgy).

If you took a random sample of 100 in the world, approx. 80% don't have proper shelter, 50% access to clean water.
All this moaning - people should be grateful to be living in a great country in an open society.
With peace
