If you became an owner of 1KG of gold. How rich does that make you compared to the rest of the world?
-
Ah damnit so I did. The rest of the numbers are true, just not as close to the 1kg’s worth as noted.

the median net wealth in the US is right around that $193k number, but the average is just over $1M, which is pretty amazing.
I'd say that the median is the average in this case. The mean usually works as a mathematical average, but in this example, it's clearly skewed.
The difference isn't between median and average, but between median and mean.

Now always but often. You could even say almost always.

That's huge amounts of money in most parts of the world. Westerners don't realise just how much more their currency is worth.

Yeah pretty much! They were in full dress with the red coats and boots and the wide brimmed hats and all that. No horses though. There was also a fair bit more security that day than usual with swat team-looking guys around the exits and stuff.

That's really interesting. I saw the term "international dollar" but glossed right over it.

Sure, but mortgage interest can easily be enough to make that worth it without any other deductions. With $300K principal and a 5% loan, that’s $15K - about the same as a single taxpayer’s standard deduction and roughly half of a married couple’s standard deduction.

It was a joke obviously but German cars often start with just the absolute basics, almost forcing you to pay up for extras that should be standard, especially in higher classes.

1kg of gold would fuck up so many of the world populations people, much like the lottery
-
...but wouldn't change your life.
-
That's completely relative. Literally anything will change your life, or nothing, it depends on your perspective.
Saying "it wouldn't change my life" means literally fuck all to the people whose lives it would change.
Like good for you, I guess?

I could be unemployed for a long long time. Years to care for myself and heal from all the hurt piled onto me from all the abusive employment.
