Nope.  That is kind of the point, actually.  About 1.7 billion people live in absolute poverty, which translates to about 25% of the world.  Almost half the world live on less than $2.50 a day, and about 80% on less than $10/day.  Being concerned about your lot in life and basically about self-preservation seems to me to be a very real and important part of the exercise.

I have been trying to think of the perfect answer to this whereby the dickhead wizard couldn't fuck your life entirely on a whim, but I really don't think that there is one.  I have thought of answering "my parents", but even then he could make it so they give you up for adoption and you're raised by a couple of drunken yokels who beat you, discourage your schooling, etc. or that you are born to the same parents but you have Downes Syndrome.

I have seen someone answer "my camera", which on the surface of it seems like a horrible answer.  But when you break it down it's kinda good, because it means that you have been born in a country where you can own something like an expensive camera, and that you are in a position to do so.  It also implies that you are probably interested in photography, and if not then you are in a position to buy something of that value on a whim.

pencil and paper

That can be used for useful stuff and for fun stuff.

I'd like to keep the same level of happiness that I have right now.
