Do you have any money? Of course you do, you’re on the internet.
The average salary in the UK a few years ago was £25,000. If you earn that much, you’re on about 25 times the global average salary. Even taking into account the cost of living that makes you massively wealthy – part of the top-earning 1.42% in the world.
