The aim of the article was to answer the question whether the higher economic diversification correlated with the higher living standards in OPEC countries between 1975-2000. Diversification was characterised by two indicators: GDP structure and share of crude and refined oil in exports. Five indicators described living standards: health, food, education, accesses to information and the participation of women in social life. The correlation was calculated by the Spearman method and showed that the assumed hypothesis was proved. The significant correlation coefficients between the share of crude and refined oil in exports and individual living standards indicators occurred more frequently than those between GDP structure and individual living standards. The tendency to diversify economic income and improve living standards is noticeable among most OPEC countries

'Flexibility' becomes today the fundamental challenge of a life. The period of immaturity and a young man/woman without any consistent system of the values and the fixed priorities become the demand of our times, something that is expected. Due to the influence of the ideal of flexibility the cult of juvenility causes a specific polarization among young people. On one pole there are the ambitious individuals, which in their desires of a success and the high living standards see themselves as unrestraint by any traditional values or the ethical canons. On the other pole there are those rootless young people boycotting the world of money and commercial show, who, veiled by a nihilistic film of mist, are wandering throughout the world. Very often they become victims of various forms of addiction. While the first 'are surfing on the waves of demand', the latter 'are surfing in the wind'. And what is in between? It is the authoress' hope, that there are the most numerous groups, which aim at an authentic life conception and its fulfillment with the things and relationships having a far deeper meaning then that of virtuous creations or balancing on popular 'board made of laminate'.

The aim of the paper is to define the main features of the reverse mortgage, to present the socio-economic situation of seniors in the Slovak Republic, to present the results of a survey aimed at the interest of seniors in using a reverse mortgage and formulating recommendations for application practice. The questionnaire survey was realised nationwide in all regions on a sample of 925 respondents. Of the total number of respondents, only 16% of property owners showed interest in a reverse mortgage. The answers of the respondents showed that the main reason for the lack of interest in the reverse mortgage is the unwillingness to break the intergenerational property transfer, which confirms the traditionally strong family relations and family solidarity in the Slovak Republic.
