Perspective

I once read that if you have access to $20.00 you have access to more money than 80% of the people in the world. Imagine that...having a twenty dollar bill in my pocket means that I am living in the top 20% of the worlds financial "food chain". That has given me a different perspective about the notion that I am statistically consider middle class here in America. To someone living in a makeshift hut with a dirt floor and no electricity or running water, I'm sure my little house would seem like a mansion. 

I have lots to appreciate!!

Salute!
