One thing missing from the 'global rich list' is how much it costs to live in different countries. No doubt in some countries people could live comfortably on what the average aussie pays in tax
We have quite a few Nepalese in Bundaberg who have been working for the Turks who have large tomato harvesting contracts.
I got to know a few of the Nepalese who told me that if they work here for one or two years, send most of their earnings home, they can live like kings in Nepal for 5 or so years.
We make fairly good money here in Aus but there are so many ways it gets taken from us in living costs etc that if there is anything left it is usually not enough to get you very far except for those young enough and lucky enough to be working at mines etc.
Not complaining. Just saying things could be better here.
