I probably fall within top 10% earners bracket in the UK. I've got mixed feelings about it.On one side, it feels like I'm not making that much money and that everyone else is doing so much better. However, more recently I often catch myself thinking 'hold on a second, just a few years ago most of the things I can now do were absolutely impossible because of my low income'.
I think there's way too much focus on the 0.001%,while ignoring the other end of the spectrum. At least in western countries, because they are rich enough,there shouldn't be a need for things like food banks, hungry kids and millions of homeless people. What makes it worse is that financial inequality makes it very easy to 'hide' yourself from the less fortunate by living in areas where you simply don't see many of the issues.
