2. I'm only in the top .779%, but this is not the whole story because
my house is paid for and I have no debt. We in America are truly in a fantasy bubble.

3. Humbling, and illuminating.
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 07:57 PM by mcscajun
In my case, I plugged in what I made before my job went to India.

Then I plugged in the best I can hope to make this year; IF I find decent work.

Quite a drop. But I'm still 'technically rich'.

7. Humbling? For who? Not the execs who get fired and still get $26M/yr in
severance packages, that we all pay for. :eyes:

Sheesh, get fired and you're set for life. Except people who get fired did something bad, yes?

I somehow think this isnt right.

Just put my husbands salary in.. 40k and this is what i got..

You are in the top 3.17% richest people in the world.
There are 5,809,565,217 people poorer than you.
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx $27.77)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 190,434,783 richest person in the world.


Then.. I put someone with a salary of 98000 and I got this:

You are in the top 0.612% richest people in the world.
There are 5,963,274,435 people poorer than you.
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour's salary (approx $68.05)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 36,725,565 richest person in the world.

10. I'm in the top 0.8ish%
Doesn't really surprise me, considering the lifestyle we have in this country.

Gotta keep the imbalance going! It's the right thing to do. :eyes:
