Are you richer than 75% of people in the world?

1. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than seventy-five percent of the people in the world.

2. If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
