Perspective

Like many other things, wealth is relative. There will always be those with more, and practically none of us will ever have financial freedom. Still, if you live in a developed country--even if you are poor compared to the rest of your fellow citizens--you are pretty well off when compared with the world. It's the little things that we take for granted as basics. Even the poorest U.S. residents are likely to have electricity and running water, features which are luxuries in many countries. And how many of our poor are still able to afford TVs, computers, phones, cars, video games, and the like? Anyway, just something to think about as you calculate your Global Income.
