I like money. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Apparently the British think of money more then sex.

Now that's shocking!

And, slightly off topic, but the Houston Astros are going to the Series. Yeah baby!

I must be one of the odd ones....not thinking about money so often.....

The world's 225 richest individuals, of whom 60 are Americans with total assets of $311 billion, have a combined wealth of over $1 trillion - equal to the annual income of the poorest 47 percent of the entire world's population.

The estimated additional cost of maintaining universal access to basic education, basic health care, reproductive health care, adequate food and clean water and safe sewers for all is roughly $40 billion a year, or less than 4 percent of the combined wealth of the 225 richest people in the world.

And?

Why do I keep seeing comparisons between wealth and income? Perhaps because if we convert the wealth into annual income, we get a much less spectacular statistic: The annual income of the wealthiest 225 individuals is equal to 4% of the annual income of the poorest 47%.
This is still almost meaningless but at least it's not comparing two entirely different quantities.
