How rich are you? >> I’m loaded. |
A London-based company is using this income calculator to show us how rich we truly are and also to shed light on how poor the rest of the world really is—and how little we do about it. This is their point:
“We are obsessed with wealth. But we gauge how rich we are by looking upwards at those who have more than us. This makes us feel poor. We wanted to do something which would help people understand, in real terms, where they stand globally. And make us realise that in fact most of us (who are able to view this web page) are in the privileged minority. We want people to feel rich. And give some of their extra money to a worthwhile charity.”
