What a stupid site.

It asks what my income is, not how much I&#39;ve got.

So for instance income= £1m, expenditure >£1m so I am not rich. Cash in bank = £1m so I am rich. But it only asks for income.

:angry:

that&#39;s not how it works

you have 1 million, spend 1 million on stuff..., you have less than 1 million&#39;s worth or stuff. Not rich? nah

It&#39;s just a measurement of richness for ur income, the rate u make per hour.

however that doesn&#39;t mean a person making 100 dollars/hour is any richer than a person having 100 million dollars in a bank and not have a job [/b][/quote]
when judging how "rich" someone is, demographics comes in to play.

take your guy that makes a hundred bucks an hour...sounds rich right? what if he resides in beverly hills - now he&#39;s a poor boy.

you can&#39;t judge how rich someone is simply by plugging in what you make per year.

lol why would i wanna live in beverly hills? lol

but u got a point there ;)

This site is interesting and an eye opener. I think we all take our cosy, comfortable lives for granted. The fact even a student (i was one) is richer than most people in the world makes you think of the plight of others elsewhere.

I consider myself to be very ambitious (possible millionaire by end of next year - hoping :D), I wonder how much i will care for the plight of the billions of poor people when i&#39;m indulging myself in my fortune (if i achieve it that is :D).

I just feel grateful to have the opportunity to make a success of my life, but sad it is denied to billions of people in the third world.

So, theres a lesson for you all. Be ambitious, make something of your lives, you dont realise just how lucky you are to have that opportunity until you come across a site like this.

You are in the top 91.96% richest people in the world.
There are 481,927,710 people poorer than you.
How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour&#39;s salary (approx &#036;0.13)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 5,518,072,290 richest person in the world.

How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Please consider donating just a small amount to help some of the poorest people in the world. Many of their lives could be improved dramatically or even saved if you donate just one hour&#39;s salary (approx £20.83)

Oh, and in case you’re interested you are the 54,029,365 richest person in the world.

If you can&#39;t donate anything, there&#39;s always Hungersite.com where it&#39;s free and paid for by advertisers for each click on the button. It&#39;s quite well known around the world.
