Abstract
In our entry we focus on subjective evaluation of the socio-economic situation of residents of the South Bohemian Region. We explore and describe factors as well as contexts contributing to such subjective evaluations. The research was conducted via a survey, which made use of a self-designed questionnaire consisting of primarily closed scale questions focusing on areas including evaluating the socio-economic situation, the ability to manage own income. The sample consisted of 700 questionnaires. The results of the research show that 43.4% of respondents have average income management skills and that the ability to manage income is statistically independent from age, education level, or sex of the respondent. Employment also does not statistically influence the ability. As part of subjective evaluation of poverty/wealth, the respondents feel to be middle class (29.1%), the extremes were selected seldomly. Only one percent evaluated their situation as poverty; 0.1% saw perceived themselves as wealthy.

Summary
We focus on subjective evaluations of socio-economic situations. Such subjective evaluations are impacted by several factors (education level, employment, etc.) [1;2; 3]. Results from other published works point out that population groups with lower socio-economic status are proven to be in worse health, which was subjectively stated and objectively research – their risk of morbidity and mortality is higher. Considering these information, we must focus on the question of socio-economic status of individuals and reflect on it
