I'm Rich!

No, I haven't won the lottery. Nor has a mysterious, unknown relative left me a large trust fund. In fact nothing has changed.

But in my "Five Minutes of Caring" email from CoolPeopleCare.org I learned about this website, The Global Rich List. You enter in your annual income and it compares you to the rest of the world - all 6.whatever billion.

Turns out I'm the 359,597,702 richest person in the world - I've made it to the top 5.99%. I'm a "fortune-aire."

Whoa.

Also, did you know that a mere $73 can buy a mobile health clinic for AIDS orphans in Uganda? I have shoes that cost more than that - boots that aren't waterproof (grr).

Someone smack me the next time I whine about how little money I make.
