Honest question, if you earn so much (1% you claim) where does all your income go? You're supporting others? You're paying off student loans? Your rent is really really high?
Anyway. If you've no accumulated wealth just enter your income and then marvel at the disparity between you and the 99%.

- randomdata 13y agoEven when observing only the USA, a top 1% personal income starts at around $200K, which isn't unheard of for a developer position. A recent poll about age places the majority of HN readers early in their career where debt is usually high and assets have not had much time to accumulate, so a top 1% US income and no assets does not seem like an impossibility either.
