I'm a 1 percenter!
 

You've heard of it, the top 1% in income compared to the 99% that make less. That's me, in the top 1% in the world! Not even close to top 1% in U.S., that takes an income of around $780,000 a year. In the the whole world it only takes an income of $34,000 and change to be in the top 1%. No job, no real income and I'm a 1 percenter, I like to look at the broader picture. Yes sir, just living the dream.

Lets see if you are bragging next year at this time.Waving

Hank, I am so happy for you !

One day I hope to live the dream too. :)

now share the wealth and help me finish my chevelle :)

I'm not bragging, I bet most of you are 1 percenters if we're talking the whole world. I'm a 99 percenter here in the U.S. I'm just trying to look on the bright side!

I thought that you joined an Outlaw bike club and became a 1%er when I read the topic. I'm pretty sure you know what that is?

Wait so 1% means you make $34,000 a year?? I'm confused can somone help me out?

$34,000 dont go very far these days as I make about that plus my rental income ,its very hard to save for the future even though I save about $500 per month out of my pay directly into savings and my wife does close to that .We probably would be better off putting it in our mattress at home since the banks dont pay much interest on anything these days .CD's are paying 1% at best for a long term and its not worth tying up your money ,stocks are too iffy for me so Im just using my basically no interest savings in case of emergency .

So that means I am 8% because I make just about $300k a year, right? And my wife would be a lil over 1% cause she makes $40k only part time. I think I did it right...

He is saying it takes $780 large to be a 1% in the U.S. per U.S. population/average salary.

To be a world 1% it only takes only $34k because apparently the average salary around the world is considerably less than $34k.
Meaning that a large part of the world 1%ers is probably made up of the U.S. population being the average U.S. salary is in the mid $50k(just a guess).
