Hi, welcome to the internet, I think you’ll like it here 🙂

It appears I am in the top 0.13% richest earners in the world.

But only just sneak into the top 50% when it comes down to wealth and assets.

Just shows what an impact a couple of redundancies and relatively brief periods of unemployment can have even in our supposed cushioned western world.

My numbers are within a couple of percent of yours MSP, but the other way around.

It clearly has bugs in it, as it says I’m in the top 0.09%.

It certaintly doesnt feel that way…

I travelled around Mozambique, a few years ago – in a convey with a group of Seth Efrikans.
Seeing a society that has to get by on two dollars a day was a real grounding. And seeing lepers in the street … 🙁

There by the grace of god , etc ….

I wonder if that grabs your ip, has a rummage around for your e-mail address and passes it on with your net income to an entrepreneur in Nigeria?

Graduate job puts me in 1.27% richest. With the amount of student debt I have I dont think thats right..

You only feel poor when faced with stuff you cant afford to buy.

Lots of people are not confronted with this problem so wont feel poor.

having travelled a fair bit the happiest people I have met are in poor countries and where TV is rare.

Top 8pc but probably richer than most as 80pc of me winnings are disposable

the problem is with your perception not the reality

Everyone in the west is fantstically rich we just all forget it unless we see actual real poverty

You know what this calls for?

that means you earn 48k a year, but have less than £2500 worth of of personal belongings

that makes no sence is the calculator right
