> Even driving my own vehicles around the world I spend less than $20k a year

20k is higher than 90% of the global population.



Absolutely, I’m well aware that what I’m doing is only a choice for people in the developed world.

Of course if I were content with walks in the park, I’m sure $10k/year would be enough.


More people should know, think and reason about this. As soon as you reach about 34-35 k$/year you’re in the top 1%, globally.

Most people thinking “the top one percent” are the problem don’t realise they are part of the one percent (and thus part of the problem)
