Hey, Big Spender
I saw this over on Kathleen Popa's blog: The Global Rich List.
Without getting into the goods and bads of giving to Care (UK) over other charities, this is a very cool site.
For instance, plug in $50,000 and it shows you way over to the right of a line graph (as you might expect, many, many people worldwide make less than $50K a year). It would be easy to guilt you into giving, but the site doesn't do that (though they do encourage you to give). In fact, it congratulates you on being the 53,957,565th richest person in the world, and gives you code to add that factoid to your webpage/blog. (You have to make $61,024 to make Forbes' Top 50-Million Wealthiest People list.)
Check it out. (If you're feeling puckish, plug in $1,000,000 and read the message. Then see what the site says if you plug in $89.)
