  • Oh, wow. I'm rich!

    At least according to this story.

    The research finds that assets of just $2,200 per adult placed a household in the top half of the world's wealthiest. To be among the richest 10% of adults in the world just $61,000 in assets is needed. If you have more than $500,000, you're part of the richest 1%, the United Nations study found. Indeed, 37 million people now belong in that category.

    well, if you go to www.globalrichlist.com, you get an idea of how wealthy you are in comparison to everyone else in the world.

    whenever i feel disgruntled about those things i don't have, i force myself to visit that site to remind myself that i really have no business complaining/whining/bitching/moaning.

    and then i thank god for the bounty that i do have.
    superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.

    "when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people i deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly..."--meditations, marcus aurelius (make sure you read the rest of the passage, ya lazy wankers!)

    nothing humiliates like the truth.--me, in conversation w/mixedplatebroker re 3rd party, 2009-11-11, 1213

      Where much is given, much is expected.
