Money Money Money - You might have more than you think!

I'm the 862,912,406 richest person on earth!

We all wish we had more money. I am guilty of thinking everyone is richer than me and i was really getting shitty about feeling so poor all the time.

I got my tax assessment back this week. Last year i made $AUS4877 ($US5051.77), i was pretty sure this qualified me as poor since most of my friends are making over $50 grand and a couple making 6 figures. I had a serious case of not even close to keeping up with the Joneses.

Then i saw this link on one of my friend's facebook pages. You put in your yearly salary (it has dollar, pond, yen options) and it calculates where you are in the scheme of things. Global Rich List really made me feel like a smuck. I am in the top richest 14% of the world, richer than 86% of people on the planet.

So now i've done a total 180 and i'm feeling really flush. My sister puts her salary in. She is the top 1% and never allowed to complain about money again. We are so lucky and we don't even know it.

  2. Well I'm unemployed now, so I am personally broke. But when I do feel down about it, I try to remind myself that it could be worse. I'm lucky enough to have help.

  3. @ Yara: Yes, a lot of people say they are broke but it only takes a few $1000 to be richer than 85% of the world. I am lucky too. If it weren't for my family and free rent, things would be so much tougher.
