You're wealthier than 99.99% of past humanity. Probably not too shabby on the global scale either.

Quoting Bucky Fuller?
In the 1970s I was an operative in a lanscaping cooperative. We had a wealthy client named C. Gray, whom we liked because he insisted on no gas lawn mowers, just hand-push reel mowers. Then his wife left because he had an allergic reaction to all his money and gave it away. We lost touch, last I heard he was trying to live on the global average income.
In the 1980s, I'm looking at a bulletin board at a food bank and someone wants a room for a specific[ally low] dollar amount, and I thought to myself that he'd found a partner.
Sure enough, I rented a room to him. I went from being his gardener to his landlord.
Great guy, he trained anti-war protestors, back when that was a left-wing thing.
