So ... this little exercise of paying attention to how we deal with money and stuff can potentially cause us to feel a little "poor." Or, maybe just life in the good ol' U S of A makes most of us feel that way. We see all the ads for stuff we can't afford. Other folks seem to be able to spend money carelessly. People seem to have more than we do. Or so it seems.
As a good little exercise (and for a little bit of a spiritual wake-up call) I logged onto www.globalrichlist.com this morning and plugged in the Shirey family annual income. Wow.
Try it and let me know what you think!

Wow, I've read enough of the stats that tell me the loads of people who live on $1 or $2 a day, but it is amazing to see it in this light. The Hoy's are in the elite richest.

Very eye-opening! I had no idea that we (who think it's hard to be a one-income family sometimes) are in the top 1% of the world's wealthiest!
