Seems like a silly attempt - the situation is apples vs oranges - you cannot compare someone in greater-NYC area and their income against someone living in rural Siberia. It just doesn't compare.
If $100,000 USD makes you in the top 0.6% - that is absurb.
A sherpa on Everest sharing the $60,000 fees charges to the "climbing team" makes him a rich, rich man in that country.
A lot richer than you :afrog:
less rich than everybody...
What a nonsense to say - it could surprise you greatly if you know a little more than what Discovery channel shows you. I would agree about people living in the middle of say Missouri or Idaho vs New Yorkers...Quote:

i just donated cus of this site $100 :) i feel good
This thing is so messed up.
You can't comper someone in NYC to some of the 2,500,000,000 people in Chain and India that make less then $1 a day !!!
so you make $185,000.00 USD year! Hi, I am your long lost realtive and I need some money :lol:Quote:

It has everything: oil, gas, diamonds, cedr (or cembra pine), serious sience (one of the world's most respectfull university is there) to name the few. It might be considered expreme place to live because of the severe winter conditions however just because of that compensations are very high and among world's highest. A lot of people migrated over there throughout 60s - 80s (and even 90s) to improve their financial statuses. For many improvement was significant but it was a trade off: comfort (in your nice and cozy appartment in western city like St. Petersburg, Moskow or Kiev...) for money.
These are just a highligts so for more detailed info you may need to do your own research (if you want to).

$0/year
If this is the case you would be one of the billions of people who earn less than $2 a day. Typically you would also not have access to a computer or an Internet connection.
RB - I picked RURAL SIBERIA as a joke - not for real! It was a euphamism (sp?). I could have easily picked rain-forest Brazil or Easter Island...Quote:

You need to compare INCOME-to-poverty level ratios - that's the only way.
If you put in 10,000 USD in that silly website, you are in the top 10% of income earners. But that amount of money in NYC makes you under the poverty level - so the site is twisted - that was my point.
I earn less than 10000 USD.
If you live in NYC you are not poor.Quote:

If you earn less than 5000 USD a year, you are poor and you have no chance of living in any mothern city, say NYC, Paris or Buenos Aires. I don't mind being the richest guy in my community, if I have no access to water of quality, food, education... not to mention modern comfort. (Satellite TV, broadband internet..
I may be poor in money, but I am Donald Trump in cynicism.
*cough*
I give rich code.
*cough*
Still missing my point...Quote:

It has nothing to do with income - it has to do with income-to-how-expensive-to-live ratios.
If I have a cow and a garden in "east-no-where" then I can be king of my castle.
The website stinks - it's a silly attempt to gather donations through misinformation.
Oh - that's the way the web works ;)
That isn't even close to be the truth. Average income for New Yorker is about $30,000. If you live along that could be somewhat ok, however for an average family that is not so a lot of them rely on wellfare/medicaid as a suplementary income to survive. Would you consider that "not poor" ???Quote:

However, because of the cost of living increase, this would actually drasticly reduce my standard of living, so I decided not to do it.
I am too poor! :(Quote:

Man, you're very rich.
And fortunate. :wave:
Yeah, but I'm paying an arm and a leg for it.
In sum, almost 10k for 8 months...
Tell that to the thousands of homeless people eating at the city missions and sleeping in the subways!Quote:

Health (insurance is a nice thing to have)
Friends (no fixed cost as long as you aren't a total a$$)
Happiness (you can't buy it)
As for the rest....it is all convenience, but it comes at a cost.
It's all relative.
my computer is Intel Celeron 766 MHz, 128 mb SDRAM, 8 GB HDD, and bought it on the year 2001. you can tell how rich am i... :D
How long until you can update?
