£13000 net

Yippee. I've just found out that I'm in the top 40% of the world's richest people. I earn £13000 a year net.https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-.../how-rich-am-i

I'm actually privileged to know this.

Re: £13000 net

Ooo I seem to be moving in exalted circles at the moment but I will have to work hard to keep it going or to improve upon it. Not gonna say how much I earn at this moment in time but I beat 40% by quite a margin lol.

Re: £13000 net

I'm also pleased to say that I'm beating the 40 % and when my pension comes in, according to that site, I'll be into single figures. Even my children are in the low single figure bracket.
I find that all very hard to believe. Everyone I know seems to be better off than me.

Re: £13000 net

My £13000 pays my rent, council tax, utility bills, food, car, holidays. I'm exceptionally lucky. I just didn't realise I was in that top 40%. I knew I was comfortable, but this has made me feel even better.

Re: £13000 net

it reckons I'm in the 3.3% I'd better start spending some of it.

Re: £13000 net

Spend it and enjoy it. There's no pockets in a shroud.

Re: £13000 net

true Myra, and boy do we spend it I've told my son (only child) that when we pop off he will be left the house but don't expect any money as we'll have spent it all

Using that link I get:-

"You are in the richest 9.8% of the world's population.

Your income is more than 12.2 times the global average".

How come you get to be in the top 40% of the world's richest people @ £13000 pa? stevmk2

Re: £13000 net

I love they request 10% of our wages when the last few months we have been borrowing to keep heads above water because the rent and service charge went up dramatically last year. How about a real test and show how much we pay for housing compared to other countries ?
