How do we really compare to other families around the world

If you really want to see how people around the world live, the https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street project is amazing. Over 30,000 photos that you can filter to see how – around the world – people’s bedrooms, kitchens, front doors, pets, toilets, toys, etc compare to yours. All the filtering is based on annual income. Imagine the world as a street ordered by income. Everyone lives somewhere on the street. The poorest lives to the left and the richest to the right. Everybody else live somewhere in between. Welcome to visit all homes on Dollar Street!

For example, compare front doors for people that earn about $1,000 per year. Sometimes we feel really different than others. But we really aren’t that different.
