57. Top 2.3%, I really do feel I'm rich
I make $43,000 a year. I have a house, a truck, a little boat and trailer. I have cable TV, high speed internet, I play golf a few times a month, I have health insurance, my son has health insuance, I have $4,000 in my checking account and more in savings.

I really dobelieve I am in the top 2.3% in the world, we do live in the wealthiest country so it only makes sense the portion of our population that lives in poverty is still probably in the top 20% in the world.
