How Rich are You?
I found globalrichlist.com
helped me to put my wealth in perspective. If you go to this site you can type your annual salary in and find out where you come in a list of the world’s wealthiest people. Hope you find it useful. Bear in mind also that if you consider the wealth of those in the developed world in the 21st Century this puts us amongst the wealthiest people who have ever lived.
My wife, Sharon, found this and sent me the link. If you feel that you want to put your wealth to good use in helping others there are a number of websites you can look at. Your wealth however is just one part of all the resources you have access to. Try looking at
"The year of living generously site"
if you want to respond generously and creatively. |
