The whole world can change the moment a fresh perspective is gained.
One truth most people don’t see until it’s too late is that they’ve already won. So, here’s an easy way to tell which side of the table you are sitting on.
If we were to divide all the wealth in the world equally, everybody would get about £27,000, or about $40k. And about $6k a year going forward.
That means that if your net worth, aka the assets you own or your salary, is more than that, you are one of the people that we’ll be taking money from in this global redistribution.
It’s easy to look up at those big houses and shiny cars and think we’ve been hard done by or cheated.
It’s a lot harder to look down at all the people we’re standing on to get that view. And there are a lot more of them.
We are the problem.
Fortunately, that means we can be the solution too.
