Am I poor?

You are the winner one out of billion sperms trying to reach here on earth. Yet, you're poor just because of this world's standard? NO! Live your winner life.

Really, that's deep @Innocie. Thanks for this amazing perspective.

I think of myself as poor although by income I'm solid middle class in Eastern Europe.

Problem's I don't have enough savings to risk-free quit my job and work (on my own payroll) for a full year (at least) on my finance / fin-tech side business. Will take a few more years to get there.

On the other hand, 60% of Americans don't have $1000 if you ask them - speak of selling my (semi) professional software to "rich" customers

So I dunno, am I poor or what?

Love that article man. It's a good advice. Let's forget where we are now and start focusing on targets to make us and our family secured.
