How rich are you?

All statistics are based on income after taxes have been paid.

The percentage stated is the level indicated as compared to the entire world’s population.
        ● Single without children: $12,000/year: Top 17.3%
        ● Married with 1 Child: $25,000/year: Top 24%
        ● Married with 2 Children: $50,000/year: Top 16.7%
        ● Married with 2 Children: $75,000/year: Top 10.7%

Why don’t we feel we are rich?

1 Timothy 6:6-10

“It is enough if you don’t freeze in the cold and if thirst and hunger don’t claw at your insides. If your back isn’t broken; if your feet can walk; if both arms can bend; if both eyes can see; if both ears hear, then whom should you envy? And why? Our envy of others devours us most of all.” —Alekszander Solzhenitsyn

The application of “The Treasure Principle” will help us enjoy what God has allowed us to have while learning to pay it forward.

Paul says it clearly in 1 Timothy 6:6-10.
