How rich are you?

This past week we talked a lot about materialism. So many times we can make the mistake of thinking that we are poor by looking at people that have more than us. But when put into perspective we can see that we have much more than think. See for yourself... follow the link and see where your wealth measures up.

The Global Rich List

Since many of you may not have a great understanding of how much money your family has, you could do this with your parents. Or, here are some numbers you can try putting in to see how they measure up:
  • $38,000 - The median household income of Winston-Salem
  • $20,000 - US poverty guideline for a family of 4
  • $1,300 - If you made $25 every week baby sitting
