Be Thankful for Your Wealth Print
Thursday, 23rd November 2006 (by J.D.)This article is about Odds and Ends
Thanksgiving is a day to pause and reflect upon the blessings in your life. It’s a day to consider just how fortunate you are. Make no mistake — if you’re reading this, you’re among the world’s wealthy.
Vintek wrote to pass along a site that makes this clear, saying:
It’s a good time of year for all of us to think a little bit about how rich we all already are, and to put things into a little perspective.
The Global Rich List is simple, yet effective. Just enter your annual income, and the site reveals how your wealth measures up on a world-wide scale. The site also gives you an opportunity to share your wealth by donating to charity.
Today, I am thankful for all that I have. I am thankful for my wonderful wife, our beautiful home, and our three cats. I am thankful that I can afford to indulge myself. I am thankful that I have a job that supports me and allows me to support others.
I am also thankful for the success of this site. It has surpassed my expectations, and it’s largely because of you, the readers. You make Get Rich Slowly what it is: a place to exchange ideas on frugality and money, a place where people can come for tips and advice and validation.
Thank you.

[...] This guy wrote something about being thankful. I don’t feel like writing a cheesy entry and I don’t have a cool picture like David. [...]

Yes, things can change on a dime so I am always thankful for life and the chance to live and work where I do. What a lovely reminder.
