Many of us (this includes me :), often complain that we don’t have enough money, we don’t earn well, we are poor and so on. This is called poverty thinking cause we may not actually be poor, we just think we are.
Now this statistics may come as a surprise to you.
If your annual income is US$10,000 and you thought you were poor? Think again. You are actually richer than 87 percent of the world population. Now this gets even more interesting.
If your annual income is US$50,000 then you are in the top 1% richest person in the world, better off than 99 percent of the world!
So stop complaining, and start living 🙂 .
See this site to see how rich you are. This has been blogged earlier.
This completely ignores cost of living. Yeah, I can live quite well in Thailand on a budget of USD900 (for two people) a month. In fact, I live in an upscale condo with gated entry, but I’d be living on the street in many parts of the U.S. if I made that much.
