Last year I made about $14,000.  More than half of that went to rent and student loan payments.  Sometimes I feel pretty darn poor.  But I’ve never made a late payment and I’ve never gone hungry (though I don’t think I can ever eat ramen again).

As poor as I sometimes feel, my income is higher than 87% of incomes in the world (of course, my rent probably is, too). That statistic is from this interesting site via Mike’s blog.

You enter your yearly income and it tells you how rich you are compared to everyone else on Earth.  The best part is that while you’re feeling comparatively rich, the site outlines a few cool projects by CARE and shows how far even a small donation goes.
