Cost of living does not seem to factor in that argument at all.  Someone who makes $5000 a year in Guatemala or Nepal arguably has a higher quality of living than someone barely scraping by on a working class (less than $40K) income in a developed country.

$32K a year in Los Angeles and New York is only going to get you a moldy basement with roommates or a dingbat apartment built back in the 1950s.   Whereas you can live like a king in a lot of third world countries at a $100 to $300 a month budget.


You need to take into account the cost of living and compare the revenue after taxes

According to http://www.globalrichlist.com/ if you make more than $32,000 you are among the richest people in the world.

Also if you have more than 1400 bitcoins you can consider yourself among the wealthiest 1% in the world along with the Rockafellers and Venderbuilts.

This is a clear reminder of how poor most of the world is.

Oh wow that was so well put that I had to quote it and point out for anyone else who may have missed your post.  That is such a great example of how bad things really are.  I commend you for hitting the nail right on the head.

The world has never been so wealthy, tens to hundreds of millions of persons go out of extreme poverty every year; 1billion persons went out of extreme poverty in asia in a few decades

That makes sense. Just not a 1% in the US.

This forum is worlwide my friend - welcome to 'also outside the US'...

It's irreverent and it's one of those propaganda articles to convince poor working class people in the United States that they're rich, even though someone making $20K in a third world country has a superior standard of living.

Also bare in mind the truly wealthiest persons on the planet you would never find on any public list. Their wealth alone dwarfs those of the public known riches.

Yes, of course.
Countless trillions of dollars in wealth are just sitting around somewhere and no one's ever noticed them or wondered about them.
Totally plausible!

I am glad there are so many one percenters here who have more money than you need and will soon be giving away most of it to the 99%.

-If you are interested by the subject watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znpjVWNjym0 and tell me if you learn something

It shows you that people earning less than 1$/day have a very different life from people earning 5$/day

-In 1947 the average salary in purchasing power and after taxes was higher than it is today in the states : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDcl5aiGus

Without the spending of the state corruption and bad government regulations, the average salary would be WELL over 100,000$ after taxes

Are you really among the richest people in the world if you make only more than $32,000?

That's £19225 in the U.K. BTC wise I'm just under half way starting next month.

No you have to make more than 19,000£ in the UK to be in the 1%

19k£ is probably the average salary

If you compare yourself to those in africa, you are rich. Since 80% of world population earns less than 15000$/year, yeap...can consider yourself kinda rich.

I appear to be remarkably poor at the moment. Hopefully as I have kept reinvesting all my BTC I may start to see some payback soon.

Do you feel now? I think you see haze now.

I missed something. 1400BTC = $700,000 thats not much and its not even 0.5% of their wealth
Yes! There is often a person to find out how much BTC, always very ironic, but the fact is this.
