Maybe you should take some personal responsibility and do something about it, rather then spending time complaining about it.

??? I have no marketable job skills, plus now I have to navigate age discrimination. Going to school is financially not an option.

My complaint is that I'm tired of hearing that I am 'rich' by world standards.

I agree, he could do something about it and take personal responsibilities. He could vote for politicians that will give him freebies, but they won't elect themselves.

Childless non-elderly adults are at the bottom of the political and entitlement food chains.

I'm not aware of any candidates who will give me freebies.

. Wage is meaningless. What matters is the local cost and standard of living.

I tried it some time ago, I prefer the Calculator.

My guess is that the Calculator accounts for Purchasing Power Parity and the Rich List does not.

Yes, I am guessing that the Calculator factors in cost of living (using Purchasing Power Parity) and the Rich List does not. Just a guess.
