You know...I go along, thinking I might be at least a little bit creative, then I see stuff like this.

Shit.

interesting - anything over $201,000 doesn't change your ranking from 107,570

that's surprising. i've seen that as compared to american incomes, but it's a bit more staggering vs. the world.

Yeah, compared to the world, if you have a PC and internet connection to go to that site, you're rich.

Humbling thought.
I work with pharmacists & GPs who are on 2 to 5 times my salary and often part of a working couple (ie their household income can easily be 6 times mine). I've felt like the poor relation for a long time - the only one who waits for payday, who can only buy treats the first week of the month etc.

I do give to charity (monthly straight from my bank account) but perhaps I should look at the bigger picture and give what I can, which is more.

On a happier note, I've sent the penguin to my Dad (still recovering knee operation) and my ex colleague currently waiting for job interview results. Hey - we do what we can to cheer up the world!
